Re: Matrox Mystique and Millennium plus successors

Thank you for the complete answer and the precious informations Do you think that this version is hybrid version you mentioned? The video chip is the old one but the memory is faster than common Mystique and the back is labelled as 220: Filename 001.png File size 772.1 KiB Views 185 views Filename …

I see, so it may be even worse than the vanilla Mystique? I've been able to get a Millennium 4mb rev R3. Now I need to get a Mystique 4mb, the Millennium II AGP and the 8mb Millennium II if ever. When I get it I'd like to do a comparison between all of those. What configuration I should use? A 440bx …

I've just found those informations on dosdays.co.uk about the Millennium: Core Clock: 50 MHz (IS-STORM-R2 and MGA2064W-R2) 60 MHz (MGA2064W-R3) So apparently the "best version" is the r3 with 4mb of memory. I will try to find if there is anything similar about the Millennium 2 and the Mystique 220

Matrox Mystique and Millennium plus successors

Actually I have in my collection the following matrox pci cards: Matrox Mystique 2mb memory clocked at 60/90 mhz (unsure about it) Matrox Mystique 220 4mb memory anclocked at 60/90 (again unsure) Matrox Millennium II 4mb memory clocked at 66/66 (as always unsure about it). The information I found so …

Oh. Sorry! I'm just worried that your configs could be more efficient, as you don't specify which region in UMBs to put your drivers and TSRs. I have before optimized DOS config files manually, partly because I didn't know at the time that I could run QEMM's OPTIMIZE with a PIF file. I enjoyed …

I recommend using QEMM if possible. It has some compatibility issues but consistently gives more UMB. Also, if you're not using QEMM, you might want to tweak your memory configuration manually. If you have DOS's MEMMAKER, it can optimize your memory for you. Just remove all the DEVICEHIGHs and LHs …

I used to believe you only need a single config, and all those menus are redundant. That's because I got 620K free RAM with XMS, EMS and all TSRs I wanted, in a single config. However, as was mentioned here, I later learned that a lot of success with UMBs and EMS depends on your system - chipset, …

Thank you for the tip. I just checked: conventional memory + cd drivers gives me 573kb of conventional memory, it goes up to 581kb without the cd driver. I don't know if it would be enough to run even the most memory hungry programs or not. I knew umbpci, which as you said it's fine for pci chipsets …

Hello fellow vogonians, in years of collecting old pc I developed a good general boot configuration for my dos 7.1 retropc (without windows 98) aimed to have a good compatibility and enough free conventional memory, starting from the phil boot disk configuration. Since everything is perfectible in …

Well...I find QEMM to be much better in memory-handling than HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE. It should be on REMOVED . Just click on Library then Apps and type "QEMM" in the search box. I'm glad you are using ctmouse and shsucdex, though--they are more efficient than Microsoft's versions. BTW, beware of …
