  • Matrox G400 will be delayed for a while!! (Yet another problem?)

    Hi!
    I had pre-ordered my G400 Max from a local distributor in Hong Kong at the end of May. I contacted my distributor and asked him about the G400 Max and this is what he had to say.

    Dear Mr Mahtani,

    Matrox last night ha advised us that due to the shortage of SGRAM overall, they have put a stop on all DualHaed effective immediately.
    That means there is no Dual Head shipment for most of July including MAX.

    The exact impact is not easy to assess. However, this is the latest news from their meetings in Montreal.
    We are following up the development clsoely and you are asured that you will receive the MAX among our first batch.

    The MAX available for the US online order is not yet available. Anyhow they say only a small number of boards are allocated for this channel as a gesture.

    Thanks you for for enquiry.

    Regards,

    So this means that Matrox has another problem that they have to solve. Yet another delay?

    Hi,

    Something going wrong, No shortage of SGRAM in the market right now. Either your distributor or Matrox making up story.

      But then how do you know that there is no shortage of SGRAM? I hope my distributor is not making up stories. Either how I want my max now!!!!!!!!!!

        The OEM boards are shipping in large numbers and they use SGRAM.

          We have retail version of DualHead w/32MB in Japan. They also use SGRAM.
          Although I'm not familiar with market situation, that DualHead and SGRAM story sonds somewhat fishy to me.

            Hi Guys,

            Big M doesn't take any SGRAM ... the have quality tests which the RAM has to pass before being plugged onto the boards.

              Boy I really wish that the G400 Max releases soon!!!

              Those guys who ordered from Matrox before June 11th will get their cards in a few days. This is not fair. I ordered mine from my local distributor in Hong kong at the end of May and I will get it last. Matrox should have planned their production properly. They should ship around the world around the same time.

              The funny thing is that Matrox has an office in Hong Kong and still it doesn't help to speed up the delivery.
