G400 rest in peace
Well, i had bury my G400 today after many great years of service.
Either my monitor took out the video card or the card took out the monitor because neither of them work any more. Luckily one of my spare computers had a G400Max in it, so now its in the primary one. I just may have to spring for another one soon. JF |

I just may have to spring for another one soon. I have a Radeon 9600 Pro in my primary machine, mostly because I do play the occasional game with my son (and of course he likes games such as Star Wars Jedi Academy, Star Trek Elite Force 2, blah blah that require a fire-breathing video card). Fortunately, the Radeon has pretty decent 2D/text... it's a fairly close second to Matrox in that department. Still, with all of that said, I miss the old G400Max. That's one hell of a graphics card. I sold mine last year on ebay and got a hefty amount for it, proving that the card has staying power. It may not be sexy hardware according to some of today's video card standards, but quality always stays in style. ;-) |

Sorry, but i'd already found one. You're right about the viper 330
card. It was a great card for its time. JF ttfg wrote: On Fri, 30 Jan 2004 19:33:41 -0700, JF wrote: Well, i had bury my G400 today after many great years of service.

I just may have to spring for another one soon. JF I've got one (32mb) in a drawer in a static pouch, and two tv out cables. For a fair price, I will be happy to sell. I stopped using multi-monitors and also went to a capture card (ATI 7500) so I won't be needing the G400 again. Email me if interested. You can check this email addy on ebay for my feedback rating. Also have two Diamond Viper V330 cards (another great card in its time) if anyone is interested. |
