Why my Matrox G400 DH only works on AGP 2X? My mobo (Abit KT7A) does support AGP 4X.
How can i force AGP 4X?. Bios setting AGP 4X is enabled.
Tnx

Don't bother. It won't help anything.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP. -
The first G400s could not do 4x transfers, though they where compatible with a 4x slot/voltage.

And Wombat's right...you will see ZERO difference in performance between 2x and 4x. It's all marketing hype.Core2 Duo E7500 2.93, Asus P5Q Pro Turbo, 4gig 1066 DDR2, 1gig Asus ENGTS250, SB X-Fi Gamer ,WD Caviar Black 1tb, Plextor PX-880SA, Dual Samsung 2494sComment

That's not a G400.
It's a G450. It should be 4x compatible.
You can download the Matrox Tech Support Tweak Utility (MTSTU) from the Matrox site, and force 4x with that.Core2 Duo E7500 2.93, Asus P5Q Pro Turbo, 4gig 1066 DDR2, 1gig Asus ENGTS250, SB X-Fi Gamer ,WD Caviar Black 1tb, Plextor PX-880SA, Dual Samsung 2494sComment

I was looking the bag (OEM), not the card. Wow...
Anyway, now i have another question. I'm buying new motherboard, with AGP 8×. Is this a problem, if my G400/450 will not work on AGP 4× (MSTSU doesent help with forcing 4× transef mode. BTW, MSTSU tells me, that the card is G400 DH. Does it read form card BIOS or form win. driver?)
i'm woring about voltages, destroying new mobo...
Tnx

disregard questions about G450. Real sticker _on card_: G4+MDHA32G.Comment

AAArrgh!! No go! This G400 could destroy ma new mobo. The code is "wrong" (model): if your model is ...4H... is OK, my is not.
Now! I have to buy _less_ capable G450.Comment

Ummm, what? That card can't do anything bad to your motherboard.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.Comment

As i understand Lui (official Forum), the card can not work properly in _only_ 1.5 V mobo's, because it can not run on 4× AGP.Comment

All G400s can run at 1.5v or 3.3v.
The earlier ones (like yours) can sometimes have difficulty detecting the proper settings on certain motherboards, but a simple modification to the card will fix that right up.Core2 Duo E7500 2.93, Asus P5Q Pro Turbo, 4gig 1066 DDR2, 1gig Asus ENGTS250, SB X-Fi Gamer ,WD Caviar Black 1tb, Plextor PX-880SA, Dual Samsung 2494sComment

Really? Please tell me more.a simple modification to the card will fix that right up.Comment

Just had to go dig up the info....
Use a soft lead pencil, and short out the connectors for r68.
This will allow the card to work in the few motherboards it has trouble with...
