Millenium II, Mystique 220, G-200 and.....G-400

[Miranda]

I've always been a regular matrox customer.

Once I by mistake, venture to buy a TNT Viper 550 and was quite happy about it's 3d potential, but running 1600X1200 resolution was just a big headache (really!!!)

I switch back to my nice G-200 and to solve the OpenGL problem I purchase a Quantum 3D sli vodoo2 card (that one that uses just 1 pci slot for a sli).

Now I ordered a G-400 from matrox and would like to know from the people that also had a G-200, how was like changing it for the new G-400...

Thanks.

I went from a g200 to a g400 32MB DH. I can't give a very detailed 2D review, since my crappy monitor only goes up to 1024x768, but it's definitely an improvement in 3D. I can run pretty much everything now at 1024x768x32, with full detail, all very playable (i'm not an fps junky, so I haven't done any benchmarks).

The Dual Head feature is worth the price all by itself. It's just too cool.
