Subject: Re: Switching from Win95 or 98 to NT
List, I'm running G400 matrox, ( AGP dual monitor), on two W2K systems,
both converted from NT4-SP6 and on a Linksys 10/100 ethernet. Got the
latest drivers off the Matrox site, and all works just as well as NT4. I'm
now 3 months and zero BSOD's, lockups, reboots or untoward problems on PS2Ki
or any other application. BTW, under NT4, multiple G400's can run in the
samy system, but they both have to be the same (AGP or PCI). I donn't know
if the same is true on W2K.

We tested Win2K with 2 ATI graphic cards, not stable.
The reason we figured out so far is that
1. ATI drivers are badly written :) or not ready for
win2K multiple monitor setup?!
2. the Win98 multiple monitor feature is not
fully migrated to Win2K, instead it is a complete
copy over to Win ME the newer version of win98.
it seems the same 2 cards work fine in WinME.
We also have old matrox single output cards plugged
into WinNT and win2K. in winNT they are very stable.
but not in Win2K.
For this setup, remember that matrox has the multiple
monitor driver available for winnt before win98
exists. So the matrox driver is specially made for
winnt and not following the microsoft way of handling
multiple monitors.
maybe we have to wait for more stable version of
the drivers?!
