        Also, it changed from 1.226 to 2.228, is that something major?

                I'm downloading the G400 drivers now!
                Any other fixes or improvements in the Parhelia drivers?

                  228 did fix a MAJOR problem I had where if I tried to log into a limited account in Windows XP, it would bluescreen

                      think the only "improvement" in the g400 drivers is the parhelia banner at the beginning of the installation

                        Global Ops is faster then ever with the Parhelia, an other game which runs the best on this card.

                        I never saw GO running so smooth, I was always jerkey and difficult to aim, not anymore

                          And it keeps on gooing and gooing, C&C Renegade never played so smooth, framerates are lower then the GF4 but it's never jerkey, someone with a Parhelia try those games I mentioned, it's unbelieveble, these d3d games where always jerkey on both R8500 and GF4Ti4600, man you would allmost believe I'm a commercial reseller for Matrox but it's really the true, all those games play better then ever.

                          Redfaction is next.

                            JDK2 plays better to in surround mode, shorter loads times. Hopefully this is a good sign the drivers have a lot of potential to release with the card!! WOOT!!!

                              Fenrir how's surround gaming treating you? Are games playable or right now is the P barely getting the job done?
