For I740 3dmark says it doesn't support 3d texture, while the g450 dualhead it says it needs a direct 6 3d accelerator in order to work.
I'm wondering again if those cards are broken or what. 😠Try an older driver on the G450. 584 works well in 2k and XP. I don't remember the i740 working very well under 2k and XP, I would try 98 with that card.
Ok I started from scratch
I tried the latest drivers: 2.13.03.002 SE U WHQL (Oct. 2, 2013), they don't work, after I tried 6.00.004 SE (Oct. 22, 2008), they don't work too, the one you adviced work.
Definitely Matrox screw something with that "recent" drivers.
For I740 there are just the drivers coming with windows xp, you are right I should try windows 98 but all my agp machines are ss7 or newers, I don't have any slot1 mb (to be honest I have one but I don't know if it works and I can't test it for now).
Thank you for your help!
