    Parahelia II? A April Fools joke?

    Of course it's an April Fool's joke. It was started on MURC. And how does Matrox stay in buiz? Easy. They sell high priced cards to specialized markets. Banks, trading houses, restaraunts with multi-displays, govt/military contracts, high-end medical stuff, and video production. If you go...

    Multiple Monitors ?

    In addidition to the afore mentioned QUID, Matrox also makes a line of cards that support triple-head. I use their Parhelia personally, but a lower cost option is a P750 Millennium, or a P650 with a triplehead add-on kit if you want a silent fanless card. Also there are the MMS cards, which are...

    How do you make sure AGP is 8x?

    I wouldn't worry about the voltage. Acceptable variance is 10%, which on the 12volt rail is 1.2v, or a minimum of 10.8v. And don't worry about being in 8x mode. 4x mode will give almost identical results, and even 2x, depending on the amount of RAM on the card. 2x/4x/8x is all marketing...

    Busted a cap, Now it doesnt work

    Dontcha just love the "I broke a part off my card, now it don't work...why??" threads... As pointed out earlier, you should be able to match that component at any radio shack. Weather or not you have the soldering skills to replace such a component on a multi-layer PCB is another story...

    What's the best Capture Card around?? Anyone?? Please??

    A very large part of the cost on the Matrox RT.x cards is the software bundle. If you price that software seperatley, you'll see what I mean. Another reason they are so expensive is that they are true real-time non-linear-editing (NLE) cards, with their own 3D GPU for realtime titling and...

    What's the best Capture Card around?? Anyone?? Please??

    Matrox RT.x10 or RT.x100, which can come with several different software bundles, depending on the package purchased. Nobody touches Matrox for their capture/edit cards...but you pay big $ for them.... (shopmatrox.com)

    It's a workstation 3D rendering card.

    Jaton tvga9685PCI - directx capable?

    Sure it does some form of DX. Probably DX4 or 5. Nothing that's going to do any good with any modern games, but it should at least display your desktop. Can't expect too much from a card you can get for 3$ :D http://axiontech.com/prdt.php?item=36410

    AGP lock.

    It all depends on the card. Some cards handle higher bus speeds well, some not at all. And it's not just your video card. Anything on the PCI bus would be running overclocked, which includes HDD controllers. So it's ALL got to be able to handle high bus speeds...

    Video Card for video editing, no gaming?? Do I need anything special?

    I'd also be looking at Matrox cards. They are favorites of videophiles everywhere. Something in the Parhelia or P650/750 lineup would suit your needs well. And they just announced a PCI-e version of Parhelia with dual DVI AND HDTV output, as well as video in...

    underpowered card

    Or it could just run unstable. Underpowered systems will often boot up, but lock up, randomly reboot, or give odd errors. You're not likely to damage anything though...

    Tri monitor setups?

    I play games almost daily on my Parhelia. Does it compete with today's high frame rate gaming cards in 'games' like 3dMark or timedemos? No. Is it a "turd"? No. If you like to brag about your 3dMark or timedemo scores, it's not the card for you. If you just want to enjoy your games in...

    Tri monitor setups?

    Some flight sims (most notably, the MS sims) will work with an independant mode desktop setup. Most games that support multi-monitor require a stretched mode desktop, which can only be done when all outputs are from the same GPU.

    Tri monitor setups?

    What do you want to do with triple monitors? If it's just for desktop type stuff, just add another PCI card. If you're looking for triple-head surround gaming, only Matrox Parhelia can do that. I run triple screens on my Parhelia. Couple years old, but still a solid card for my needs.

    Problem setting up 2nd monitor

    Old Trident and SiS cards are terrible for multi-monitor use, and most simply won't do it. Your best bet is to remove the Radeon drivers, and the Radeon card itself. Install the latest drivers you can find for the Trident (not the built in XP ones if possible). Once that card is running...
