How long you participate in MURC life?

[Joel]

Since Feb 11, 1998. And guess who lead me there?? Matrox's very own tech support personal. Below is the copy of the e-mail.

Hello,

Regarding the Support for the Matrox m3D I apologize for the delay.

all the Games that the m3D supports can be found on our site
www.matrox.com/mgaweb then gamers club.
this section provides you with all the Patches and Demos for the m3D.
Driver support for the m3D is provided with the card, and we should be
coming out with new drivers with in the next month.
there is a Site you can go to for Matrox users, i believe it is called

https://www.murc.ws

this site has information and common questions regarding the MGA products
this site is not run by matrox it is run by a customer like yourself.

If you have any problems please do not hesitate to contact my supervisor
e-mail address : Karina.Hould@matrox.com

regards

BTW I paid $318.59 on 3/27/1996 for a Matrox MGA Millenium PCI 2MB WRAM. And later upgraded it with the 6MB memory mod costing $199.00. Which is a total of $517.59. So even if 'P' cost this much I would consider it a bargin considering what it is bringing to the table.

I joined the MUML on 1/4/97, so it's been over 5 years for me. After the list(s) died, I pretty much dropped out of the MURC. I've never been very fond of these types forums...way too much user interaction involved. I really enjoyed opening up my mail client after work and reading all the ribbing, humor and technical insights.

Luca's posts being the exception, of course.

I never claimed to be the best typist is the world. Hey I did spell it right, just used the wrong correctly spelled word.

I joined the forum late and didn't post much, being primary a lurker before and after. BUT... I actually still got this in my URL collections.

Matrox Millenium - Driver and BIOS updates



Good old Millenium 4MWRAM for a 17" Nanao.

Millenium II and a 15" Sony.

G200 for a 21" Sony. Sold my original Millenium + Sony for changes.

G200's DOS Bios died on me. Swapped back the Millenium II in and told the FPS to go away.

G400 still up and running.

Was seriously eyeing the ATI 8500AIW since RPG and real soon even TBS are going the 3D route whether I like it or not.

But like the Faithful that I am, I still checked the MURC home page every now and then, even though news are few and far between... And then one day VigilAnt's post met my eye...

Now, it's 2D had better be worth the wait... hehe...

Thanks

ROFLMAO!!

Who could ever forget LUCA of BORG!?

Gawd that guy was a scream, even if he did drive several of us to discover Prozac

It's been 2 years. I came here after I received my G400max. The link was on the french site www.planetematrox.com unfortunately the site died a few month ago, I guess the webmaster ran out of motivation and the forum was desperatly empy (like 4 registered members !)

[DentyCracker]

And who can forget the infamous tombman/deprived and the great tylau (ROFL). Been around since some time in 1998 after I bought a G200. Since then I've bought a G40016SH and a vanilla, which I still use. I have converted most of my friends to matrox and they refuse to use anything else after experiencing the video quality, or complain bitterly when forced to use inferior products.

[KvHagedorn]

I've been here since sometime in 1999. I had an original Millennium though, long before finding this place. Skipped the G200, went directly to the G400MAX.
