      Correction, real construction quality is in the sum of the all parts used.

        Instead of construction quality. Shouldn't the blame for this crap be placed on engineering?

                This is a point I have tried in vain to make to my non-Matroxentric friends.
                Quality

                I've used lots of different boards here at work, ati, etc, but none have impressed my from an engineering/construction standpoint as the matrox boards have.

                Other brands have fine boards from feature standpoints. But overall fit and finish of Matrox is IMO better. My V3 2000 PCI, for instance, could boil water under no load. G-series cards are positivly chilly by comparison.
                System: P4 2.4, 512k 533FSB, Giga-Byte GA-8PE667 Ultra, 1024MB Corsair XMS PC333, Maxtor D740x 60GB, Turtle Beach Santa Cruz, PCPower&Cooling Silencer 400.

                Capture Drives (for now): IBM 36LZX 9.1, Quantum Atlas 10KII 9.1 on Adaptec 29160

                  Although the guy is right in general, the values of RAMDAC clock and vidoe bandwidt are totally false.

                  Fortunately we, loyal Matrox users do not suffer from this syndrome.
