Matrox M9140 - passively cooled?

If you're looking at Matrox cards then you're obviously not concerned with performance. I would not even worry about memory bus width and focus on your other needs.
 
What Virge said... Matrox doesnt make anything speedy when it comes to 3D performance.

Im not really sure why anyone would buy a matrox card at this point... but again like Virge said its not for its performance (so dont worry about bus lengths or anything).


OBS!

Operating Systems Supported (from newegg) =
Microsoft Windows XP (32/64bit), Microsoft Windows Vista (32/64bit), Microsoft Windows Server 2003/2008 (32/64bit)

Doesnt mention Windows 7....

Matrox was seriously impressive for 2D quality back in the day. And they had a couple entries in the 3D arena that were decent performers with very good picture quality, but this was back in the TNT and 3Dfx years.

I imagine they have stayed in their niche of 2D quality and multi-display setups at this point.
 
Personally, I'd be scared to use a 512 bit vc that's passively cooled. Remember the last time a company made a 512 bit card?...hd2900xt ... yeah...
