I won't buy another Matrox card but I know what its good for.


Bitboys should be nuked!!! Xtreme Ultra super high bandwidth vapourware.

Make that triple monitor support...

That was great, back then....

Matrox has great driver support. I've used the gG400 for a long ass time in my old system and it never gave any problems like that.

Yeah, I was thinking of the G450 when I wrote that. Triple is definitely better then double. :)

And where's the Nissan sucks more option? :)

LOL...

I have to say that Matrox has sucked pretty bad lately although they used to be my favorite by far until I bought my first Riva 128...then I went back to Matrox for the G400...that was their last decent product... I don't see what happened to them. ATI has my money now just for the plain fact that I like competition and I think ATI has done well for being the underdog...the 9700 is quite the product. I think nVidia has had a little hiccup with the FX (still a decent product...just not up to what I expected). Hopefully the next iteration of both companies products will be both be solid and I'll have another hard decision to make.

Bitboys is pretty much there for a good laugh. I would say they sucked if I ever saw something.

Voted for Matrox. Bitboys may not have a killer card, but at least they don't push overpriced pieces of crap on the public. Parhelia is nice, but it's not worth the US$300+ ticket price.

Oh the truth hurts! Somebody call a doctor. E.Amish is hemoraging!

Unfortunately the Parhelia was overpriced for the average person or gaming enthusiast. That's why I have a 9700 instead.

Dan Woods is evil incarnate... :(

On the other hand, don't you be knockin' the G400! It's always been a sweet card.
