When choosing my matrox g400 drivers for win2k, the website gives me three choices. the "latest drivers", which they say are beta, and are not supported by matrox graphics techical support; the "WHQL drivers", which are certified driver releases; and "Unified drivers", which are one driver that supports multiple matrox video cards. Can anyone enlighten me on what the difference is between these choices and which ones I should be using for playing games and such? Thank you for your time

The Latest Drivers are, well, the latest and usually the most efficient and have the latest features

WHQL drivers are Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Labs certified, which
means that MS has tested them extensively on WinXX environments.

The Unified drivers are the most compatible drivers to be used in system that
need absolute stability instead of speed and capabilities (generally not
recommended for home users).


I recommend the Latest Drivers for gaming.
