what's up with matrox?
"Hello" wrote in message
news Are they doing any consumer video these days? Depends what you mean. Are they doing high quality, versatile desktop graphics? Arguably yes. Are they doing gaming oriented framethreshers? No. As to what's up with them, they appear to be happy positioning their products into their niches, which, given the amount of money necessary to go toe to toe against nVidia and ATi, is probably the only option available to them at the moment. -- Richard Hopkins Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom (replace .nospam with .com in reply address) The UK's leading technology reseller www.dabs.com Get the most out of your digital photos www.dabsxpose.com |

I was thinking of a P650 too. What's it like? John I am pleased with it so far. I have a G550 also, and the P650 is worth the extra (for me). -- Doug Ramage [watch spam trap] |

AJ I find the quality better -especially watching videos full screen. And it has anti-aliasing which improves the font appearance on my 19" TFT monitor under Windows 2000. Gaming is probably better - relatively speaking. The price difference is only about £30 + Vat. -- Doug Ramage [watch spam trap] |
