I run a dual-head setup with a Matrox Millenium G550

I run the same card and the obvious Q I had is the driver version. I'm running driver ver 5.95.5.0 on XP Pro and don't have problems with anything. I had lots of prob's with ver 5.21.xxx (or was it 5.27.xxx) either way the new version seemed to solve a ton of probs on my G550 card.

Where did you get that driver? And have you tried to play a DirX9.0c game on it?

Re: OT: Climbing System Requirements and Specs

Re: OT: Climbing System Requirements and Specs
You seem to be a bit touchy today... you're definitely reading more into that than is there.

Got it from a new g550 card purchased new. I have about 50 of these cards in my office where I work as well as in my home PC. I ZIP'ed up the CD minus the Adobe Acrobat, DirectX, and docs (went from 180Mb down to 19 Mb) and put it here if you want it:

I am not sure what version of DirectX games I've played but I know I play at least 1 (my 6 year old plays LEGO StarWars and I know that uses DirectX and I think it may even be 'c') |

What, talking about competing products is now considered anti-Microsoft? Seems more like that whole free market competition thing to me. Try out all of the options to see what fits you best. |
