Dit is op zich opmerkelijk te noemen: Matrox heeft altijd zijn eigen videokaarten gemaakt, op een enkele OEM na die de chips op een moederbord geintegreerd heeft. Nu brengt Gigabyte een nieuwe kaart uit die gebaseerd is op de single head G400 chip van matrox. Matrox users serveert de soep:
When is a G400 not aG400? When it's a GA-MG400. GigaByte are producing their own G400 based boards which are equivalent of the Millennium G400 singlehead card. Obviously being based on the G400 chip it has all of the same features as the Matrox Millennium G400. I wonder if they'll produce a MAX version, now that would be interesting...
