    I finally have an M3D :)

    Only taken me 20 years to finally get one but one popped up on an eBay alert and I dived straight in and bought it 20200610_145525.jpg

    Looking forward to playing with it in the coming days!

    Wow... Quake? The drivers can still be downloaded from Matrox

      Wow. Was this between Millennium PCI and G200?

        My first setup with a 3D card was a Matrox Millenium and a M3D, on a pentium 166MMX.

        That car brings back memories, memories and wanting a 3DFX and getting an M3D instead.
        Titanium is the new bling!

          I built machines back in the day with G200, G400 and last Matrox machine was an Athlon with a Parhelia 128. I still think that was the best image quality ever. Parhelia was while I was in Blackpool working at Victoria Hospital. Damn, that was 2003

            I never got to buy a Parhelia and still think it is a shame it was unfeasible for Matrox to stay in the GFX market. Ah well.. I seem to be a fan of things that didn't make it (e.g. Blackberry, specifically OS 10).

              You'll miss the headcasting.

                @Umfriend
                I found a Parhelia in a Recycle bin at work.
                I have no idea if it works.
                It was most likely someone cleaning out their cupboards....
