no harm, no foul. -
The poll on the MURC homepage? I've just pulled the 'Yes' category into the lead - it's 86 vs 85 at the moment.

The question was not if you were unhappy with your card but would you buy another card given your experience with Matrox products.

Yeah - I meant that 'yes' I would buy* another, not 'yes' I am unhappy.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Helevitia:

Hi Steve,
I was focusing my statement towards drzaius, not you

ok then, what has Matrox done/not done to make you decide that you don't want another one?

Note it says "Given your experience of Matrox products to date will you buy another?", not "what you expect from it's next product"
I've voted yes, as I really like my good old Millennium 4 MB

Think I'll buy another Matrox product. If it has the right price, performance, features and comes out at the right moment.

Hey Ant,
Isn't there some kind of IP log that you can check to see if any of those votes are duplicates.

BTW Given my experience with Matrox and the fact that image quality is more important to me then yes I would buy another Matrox product.Libertarian is still the way to go if we truly want a real change.

I don't belive that checking IP would really be good to log if someone has voted twice. Most people can change their IP almost at will.

I'll go on record as a yes. One incident stands out in my experience.
Early on I had reported a problem regarding an ASUS board, ECC memory enabled and the first G400 OGL drivers. Haig obtained the hardware and confirmed the problem. Next driver release the problem was fixed. Imagine a company fixing something that affected a small percentage of users.MSI K7D Master L, Water Cooled, All SCSI

I voted yes. My experience with my G400 MAX has been a positive one. Yes the drivers weren't so great at the start, but they've gotten a lot better. I understand a lot of the people in the Desktop Video forum would've voted no, with the Video Tools fiasco.Comment

I voted yes of course. I will buy Matrox products as long as they have chips made by Matrox as the chip that Matrox has to support. They have an excellent track record on those products.[size=1]D3/\/7YCR4CK3R

I won't buy another MAtrox product because I've been burned two times allready. I've owned a Millennium II + RainbowRunner, m3D, Millennium G200, Millennium G400 and a Marvel G400.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by drzaius:

The RainbowRunner Studio was the last, I believe, of their videoediting products that were really supported. They released new VideoTools quite regularly. And then, all of a sudden it stopped. So, the great, still functioning, M2+RR with hardware MJPEG is now nothing more than a heavy, expensive piece of a 2D gfx-card. It's WinNT 4 drivers was a joke, and who'd want to go back to Win95 for videoediting? I have a vague sispicion that he reason they killed it off was because of the lack of Macrovision, which made this card really great. If you needed to record a DVD to VHS? No problem! The Mill2+RR could act aass a passthrough Macrovision-stripper.
Is it really that hard to port the VideoTools between Win95 and Win98/ME? That would have increased the lifespan of this card by another 2 to 3 years.
The Marvel G400, on the other hand, has never been supported by Matrox. Lousy drivers coupled with lousy VideoTools, used in a lousy OS (Win98). I'm willing to bet that I have a majority of the Marvel users behind me on this claim.
That's why.Comment
