It is worth to wait the next Matrox 3d card or i buy a G400 card ? (i have g200 with k6-2 350 @ 400 ,32 Mb,SOYO 5EHM)
Anybody knows about the next generation card ?

Thank You!

never wait in hardware purchased... there will always be more stuff available and keeping this attitude will leave you with a 5 year old video card in no time

I like my G200 so much I´ll stick to it for as long as I can. (Of course, if I could spare the dosh I´d buy a G400 MAX).

I owned a Cirrus Logic 2Mb , a Trident 975 3D 4Mb AGP (Blaarrgh!), a S3 Virge 4Mb DX, a Matrox M3D and finally my beautiful G200... this one still rocks...

Everything in the last 3 1/2 years.

Unless you are a Quake-aholic, your best bet would be to spend $75 on an additional 64megs of RAM. If the 32megs you have is not an SDRAM DIMM (I don't remember ever seeing 32meg SDRAM), then take it out and put in the 64 and you should see a noticable improvement.
