New Bios for all Matrox "P" video boards.

[MOL]

Since 15 september 2005 there is a new Bios at the Matrox site available for all P users.
It is called "Matrox setup and utilities version V.1.09.00.004".
The file is called sysutil 1904.exe and the size is 752kB.
I am sorry, but there is no changelog available!

Thanks for the info.

How many murcers actually have a P series card? I always wanted one but couldn't justify the price. I still love my G400Max though.

I have two. I've also sold many. Does ANYBODY know what the update is? Even a hint?

[PAugustin]

I have a parhelia and I'm very happy with it (used to have a G400max).

No idea about the Bios update

[SpiralDragon]

still running my g550 although i have recomended and installed several Ps in some production houses

[Marshmallowman]

I still have g200 sitting on a shelf at home, but my new job is jam packed with matrox boards...parhelias, qid's etc.

So a got a parhelia for work, and get to play around with some funky matrox multidisplay setups, 4x 19" LCDs is a lot of screen real estate ,but its pretty easy to lose the mouse cursor if you not careful

I have started with the first Millenium years ago, which i have upgraded later with some more memory. I was very happy with that "video board" and it is still somewhere around on a shelve.
Now i am using the Parhelia 256 AGP (4x) version and i'm again very happy with that board too.
The quality of both the analog and digital output is very high, but i don't use it for gaming.
What about the future? New drivers, directX, open GL? Hopefully Matrox will do something about that!!! What do thers think about these kind of things?

[schmosef]

I hope matrox gets it together to release a board suitable for windows vista.

I have one (128 MB, 4x AGP model); it is a great card that drives my Eizo L568 (primary), Philips Brilliance 107 (secondary) and occasionally my TV (feature display).
Only downside (for me): it can't do dualhead independant + tv-output.

It superceded my G450, which I then put in my second machine to replace my G200. So I now have a G200 lying around (my third machine is a P166 which only has PCI, and holds a Mystique).

I already had Parhelia agp-4x and still I bought the newer Parhelia agp-8x. You can't argue about one thing: Parhelia was the very best video card for Surround Gaming and it still is. However, I hope the situation will improve soon.

I also have Millennium P650 LP PCI, witch I use for TV-out. Matrox PowerDesk-HF software works brilliantly, even when multiple adapters are in use.

The BIOS revision for my Parhelia 128 didn't change and as usual, there are no release notes available

I had a Parhelia way back when, but the state of the Linux drivers made me go Nvidia. Moving into an efficiency apartment made me sell my desktop and get an iBook.

[schmosef]

r we any closer to solving the mystery of the new bios update?

I have two!!
