IBM COMPATIBLE MATROX/MYSTIQUE VGA/VBE BIOS (V1.8 ) IBM COMPATIBLE MATROX/MYSTIQUE VGA/VBE BIOS (V1.8 RR ) RR stands for? Interesting find. What version have you installed, normal or RR 1.8. Have you checked what hz your LCD runs on Screamer-Games? Thx!

There must have been someone who changend the fan/cooler on such a parhelia card....? I am currently using a P650 that is an excellent card, but has half the bandwith and half the tmu's/shaders etc. and that cut the performance more than in half.

A DSS with COVOX and powered by USB (cable included) is a must have. Best solution for machines that can not make use of ISA-Soundcards.

Hi, I am think about a replacement fan for my matrox-parhelia AGP. The fan is very noisy. Perhaps someone has changed it already and has an advice what fan to get. Thx Doc It would be very helpfull if there was a kind of database, which replacement-fans or other cooling solutions exist for different …

On really fast machines it's much better to use a covox sound-device in plain Dos. You can play some games with it. There are some games that will still make problems with sweepinging noises on too fast machines (pinball-fantasies) but you can have fun with games and some scene-suff (demos/intros/ …

It's a big thing on 800x600 16Bit vs. 32Bit and as far as I can tell. D3D seems to be better than OGL.

A really big impact is using 32Bit colordeph. I am using 16Bit for everything on my G550 and 16Bit look s compared to other card's on 16Bit very good.

For that FSC-S2 I need the PCI-Cooling Solution in LowProfile (LP).

I switched to a FSC-S2 and this machine with AGP slot has also thermal/stability problems with passive G550 or FX5200...beside searching for a solution for the GF3 ...I am also thinking about such a thing: https://www.ebay.de/itm/110998383409?

I always do Multiboot, beside Amiga-Amithlon there is still -OS2/Warp - MsDos - Win2k/XP - Linux On that same machine, so it's not about Amithlon only. The noctura fan will not fit in that case, it can not be placed inside that heatsink.

I don't get what the issue is here. Have you encountered issues with ATi cards on this system? In any case, the Noctua fan I was talking about is the NF-A4X10 or the NF-A4X20 if you've got some slight headroom. Make sure to grab the 5V, 3pin versions of either fan and you'll be good to go, no need …

yes, exactly "mostly" unaccelerated ati-gfx. keep in mind that even matrox-mystique! is hw-accelerated (beside the "hardware-block-move" command).

Oh oh, i would not place a passive Ti 200 inside. Except you plan to drill some holes for Air Intake. Is this nforce2 shuttle ? i have the same machine i think. With Mobile Athlon 1800+ (200Mhz FSB) installed (45W), HD3450 AGP Active cooled, and SSD. I ran passive GeForce 4 MX460 and it got so hot, …
