Hi,
about the B revision from this chip, i did not find any information.
Just beginning from the MGA-1064SG-D one there can be found infos.
It was produced since calender week 31 in year 1996.
The B chip seems to have been just a short time before, because it was quickly switched to the D revision.
Does it have any bugs or was it not intended for the release product?
If anyone has informations please let me know.
And what is the production date of your Matrox Mystique video cards?

The date can be read in the second line from the chip.
Examples:
9637 = 1996 in calender week 37
9707 = 1997 in calender week 7

I got the clock speeds from the internet and should be viewed with caution:

Matrox Mystique 170:
- MGA-1064SG-B ? / ?
- MGA-1064SG-D 50 MHz / 75 MHz or 55 MHz / 82,5 MHz

Matrox Mystique 220:
- MGA-1064SG-G 60 MHz / 90 MHz
- MGA-1064SG-H 60 MHz / 90 MHz
- MGA-1164SG-A 60 MHz / 90 MHz or 66 MHz / 99 MHz

Enhanced for Matrox Mystique

I have a 1064SG-D dated 9631...

That should be one of the earliest cards.

From what I have read online, it's impossible to pair clock speeds with the video chip. It's pretty random. I got lucky with mine and they all have high clocks. I don't have any info about this B revision, wasn't even aware of it. It's likely just small fixes to the core or something after it was made.

My cards:

Mystique 220:

MGA-1164SG-A, date: 9747
clocks: 66 MHz core / 99 MHz memory

MGA-1164SG-A, date: 9737
clocks: 66 MHz core / 99 MHz memory

MGA-1064SG-H, date: 9724
clocks: 60 MHz core / 90 MHz memory

Mystique 170:

IS-MGA-1064SG-D, date: 9705
clocks: 60 MHz core / 90 MHz memory
