G450 PCI for multimonitors - on Asus A7V8X AMD Athlon XP system board (VIA KT400)
Hello,
I'm thinking of getting a G450 PCI card for 2 extra monitors - 1 will be for another LCD panel, 1 for TV out. The website has some small print! "G450 PCI is recommended for systems based on Intel chipsets. Feature and performance support for systems based on non-Intel chipsets is limited. Please visit the FAQ on our website for more details. The Millennium G450 PCI does not include a software bundle or the TV out cable." Going to the FAQ link gives: "What features will not be supported for the combination of G450 16 MB PCI and non-Intel chipsets? DVDmax and OpenGL will not be supported for the combination of G450 PCI and non-Intel chipsets. Will bus-mastering ever be supported with the G450 16 MB PCI cards and non-Intel chipsets? Matrox does not foresee much demand for PCI graphics products for systems with non-Intel chipsets. If Matrox releases a new version of the Millennium G450 PCI with support for such chipsets, this new version will have a different part number and its features will be clearly highlighted." My system is as follows: Asus A7V8X rev 1.04 mb - VIA KT400 chipset AMD Athlon XP 2400+ processor Matrox G550 AGP graphics card - running 2 iiyama 17" LCD panels (1 DVI and 1 analogue) Hauppauge WinTV Cinema PCI card USR Int Sportster V90 PCI modem Asus USB2 PCI card Windows XP SP1 Are there any issues that I should be aware of! I'm curious about some comments on the G450 PCI only being a 33mhz PCI card, is this true? Many thanks, Nik PS yes i'm looking at http://www.realtimesoft.com/multimon/ but my searches show no problems. |
