Possible Matrox Power Toys App?

[chuck]

I'm drooling at this exchange!
*********************************************
Scytale->
Haig, maybe your customers find an interest in running other software but the Matrox drivers.

The PIT->
Mmm why don't matrox do a overclocking prog.

Haig->
Scytale - Don't understand.
Pit - Do you think it would be a good idea if we would do this but keep it as un-supported?
Haig

chuck ->
Haig,
Sure, do it like Power Toys for windows. "Here's some cool stuff to play with, but we don't have the resources to support officialy".
You would hear vast rounds of applause in here.
chuck

Phil MURC ->

Wouldn't that be cool?
Maybe something that can give you individual control over clock rates at different resolutions, and even could have some switches in it to take care of some registry hacks.

Sounds like a peach of an idea to me.

[chuck]

Uh oh, We have left Haig speechless!

Do it, but no Powder Sniff.

[Haig]

Speechless? Neva

Let's have some ideas folks.

I'll start:

- Have a few tabs:

1 - Hardware Enhancher
Boost our clocks.

2 - GL switches (beta boys)
Enable/Disable a few OGL switches.


3 - Reg switches
Enable/Disable a few registry keys.

Remember folks, no garantees right?

I don't suppose the G400 has an accessible thermistor?

[Scytale]

If you can get development to do it, I'd settle for fair and simple. The three points you mentioned would do just fine

[Jorden]

Wondering how fast people would be asking for an update

[Sprocket]

perfect idea! There is something just like this util (tweaker)for the Rage128 programmed by Maiden. great util, now if only the drivers for it worked...

[arbymo]

Good idea Haig ...
plz add this one too :

4. Resolution adding.
this would be great as no other cards have it.

Haig,
Here's a challenge for you -> Support for a Tandy VGM-150 fullpage mono-vga monitor.
If you can pull this off I'll buy a second G400!

Hi Haig,
Don't pay any attention to rubank. We have faith in you. (And the fact that Matrox is privately held and so can do anything it want's to )
btw When I said accessable thermistor, I ment by software. i.e. a "Safe" overclocker!
chuck
I still want that mouse pad.
