"You brought an artifact," - said colleagues on the phone. I go out into the hall. Comrade Victor2000 meets me and offers the museum a kind of Matrox video card. Offhand, I define it as the Matrox Millennium G200, but still with some doubt - why is there no cooling?
I decided to compare with the existing Matrox Millennium G200. ')
There is a difference in the memory modules: on the new SDRAM exhibit, but on the already available more high-speed SGRAM. After studying Google it became clear that these are still different video cards.
That is the answer to the question about the absence of a cooling system. The technological process of the graphics core was more advanced. It turns out that the Millennium G200A-C core first appeared and became the flagship solution in the Millennium G200 lineup. Later, Matrox engineers made a more affordable solution for the price and offered the market a cool GPU Millennium G200A-D2.
In addition, two more exhibits were received from the person with the nickname Pro®ok.
