Yet another RT2000 question by me. Does the G400 FLEX use powerdesk?

[CMB]

Hi, that subject pretty much sums it up.
Does the flex card use powerdesk like my current G400 MAX, and if so is there a customised verison available. should i be downloading the new PD6.4 ready for my installlation?

[cjyo~]

No, don't download it. It uses a different Flex version of Powerdesk that comes with your install CDs. You'll also be able to download the Service Pack 3 from Matrox, once you get your RT2000 box (unless it's already on your CDs - mine was SP2 a month ago).

Incidentally, there aren't Windows 2000 drivers for the RT2000 yet (wait for Matrox Video Tools 2.1, 2.5 or 3.0...?), but I have Windows 2000 partition on my machine, so I disabled the RT2000 Loader in System evices and I was able to install the latest standard G400 Millenium drivers for Win2k. I haven't given it a work out, but they seem to work fine.

To clarify: don't take this as a hint to install normal G400 drivers on your RT2000 editing system - only use the CD drivers or RT2000 support site drivers.

thanks.
i also put this question on the RT2000 forums at matrox and i had 2 responses from the techs within about 90 mins. I'm well impressed. Seems that il have to do without the latest direct x and opengl support for now, but there again, i only play pod racer and UT everynow and again so what the hell am i complaining about.. As long as Monkey Island 4 works ill be fine :OP
