What Card is it???

[Srikanth]

I have a Matrox video card. It could be Matrox G400. Im not sure. How can I tell which model it is and how much memory it has? It has 4 chips of memory on it. How much is it?

Please help.

Are there 4 chips on the flip side? Does it have dual monitor hookups? How come you don't know?

My friend gave it to me. He didn't tell me what card it is. Im sure its a Matrox card. Its written on it. But what model and how much memory? Its an AGP card.

No, it has only a single moniter hookup. It has 4 chips, which i assume are memory chips, on the same side as the heatsink (the black structure with rows and columns of upward projections. think it is the heatsink).

On the memory chips its written:
0316169CT3D
80 01L2303
I B M 5352
903701410 PQ

On the circuit board the following is written:
MATROX
834-00 REV_A
COPYRIGHT 1998

Also, there is a sticker on it which says:
G2/MECOA/8BI/20
ASSEMBLED IN
CHINA 000

I would think that is was a G400 as it has 1998 on it

The G2/MECOA/8BI/20 makes it a G200 if you check the link.

How good is this Matrox Milleniium G200? Is it upgradable?
Anyone has a pic of this card? Is it worth having it? It hasn't been used much.
Also, it tends to get very hot even though it has a heatsink, no fan.

take a look here for upgrade options on the card, you have a AGP 8MB G200 which is memory and multimedia upgradable..

Also try here for exact upgrade for the card.

hominid skull,

the link in ur first post above says:

G2/MECOA/8BI/20 makes it a Matrox Millenium G200 LE 8 MB SDRAM, AGP bulk

And the first link in ur third post above says that MATROX MILLENIUM G200 LE 8MB SDRAM, AGP bulk is neither memory nor multimedia upgradable.
