New Matrox G100/G200 drivers

Thanks VE:  The lovely and talented Andrea over at Matrox sends word that they have just released new drivers on their website that include a final ICD for Windows 9x (driver 5.13) and Windows NT (driver 4.13) for the Matrox G100 and G200 series products.  Here's what else she had to say about these new drivers:

With our Beta 2 ICD that was released in May, 1999 our score in Quake II at 640 x 480 @ 16-bit was 38.2 fps. With this new driver in Win 98 we are getting a score of 47.5 fps, an increase of 25%. The ICD also includes optimizations for other Open GL titles and support for Lightwave 3D and 3D Studio Max.

  • That whole BTG thing, SB, etc, getting upset (old shackers remember Bruno and Daggah always saying they would quit the shack?

    It's really silly.

    Everyone on here is attacked. Repeatedly. No one is exempt. Me for color, you for CAPS, and you for your religious views, or a comment you made.

    Putting a picture of yourself is bound to get criticized. The more verbal you are, as well, like FV/Vantage.

    Even Dognose gets attacked and he's considered one of the "kindest" "characters" on here.

    However, more than most, I believe BTG trolled herself out. She egged on comments, which obviously she could have ignored. She posted pics and then lambasted herself as being ugly, when most people would find the pics normal to cute. Social American normal, at least.

    Her "studying," was ri·dic·u·lous. She was far too involved with the subjects to get an accurate representation of a community. Sure the anthropologist is encouraged, blah blah, but she actually changed the culture to a degree that the whole point was modified. Then again I majored in Psych and not anthro, so I'm out of my league.

    What's also ironic is the revealing of characters/genders/etc, online. What purpose does that provide? Very few of us are actually going to meet others. It's craving for attention. Yes we hate to admit it. I am guilty as the next. We are on here to listen, but also to be heard. JOKEMON with humor, characters with screaming in colors, others with spam, others with surrent social culture references ad nauseum. It's somehow a geek culture to scream for the attention we are not physically getting by holing ourselves inside. Myself, from non-geek to geek quite recently, have noticed how I would rather interact with people through an electronic means before face to face. Seems more natural, more thought out, more convenient. Not sure if it's sad, or just a culture shift our society is going to see shift their interaction on a permanant basis...

    Anyway, fuck off, cunthorpes.

    Hehe, whatever. Ads are dumb. They do not make sense to the "smart" consumer. Ultimately, they convey information that is a waste of time to both parties. NOT A WASTE MONEY, I KNOW ADVERTISING IS EFFECTIVE BECAUSE IT WORKS ON BULK returns. The creator for the marketing salaries, and the consumer for believing anything an ad conveys as a push to buy something.

    Purchasing should be done with research, not sway. The ads that shows a car on top of a mountain, the sheer level of stupidity that must exist that causes a consumer to say, hey, maybe I can do that... I cannot even imagine how they reach this conclusion. And they KEEP DOING IT AND IT KEEPS WORKING!

    Advertisers are getting desperate and making ads more entertain-ment- centric, or stupid ploys like the hypnotic ad on the shack or the shock the monkey crap.

    Great, if it works for the masses, then I guess they get their job done, for those of us looking for content without the annoying glitter, we move on. There's more than just exchanging these ideas in return for buying a product.

    As for the Shack, Ars, and the little guy turned popular, well, level with us, you get increased traffic, you want the advertisers to pay up, the viewers to believe that you are in it for the money fun, eventually something has to give. We don't live in a Socialist Internet world. We live in an Anarchist/Commercialistic Internet world. The wise block ads, steal software, work minimally and get paid much.

    'Preciate the work "Steve", "Ceasar", "Lowtax", etc are doing, but if it turns to an "ad forced" world that the proxies won't be able to block then the consumers will barely notice and I'll be out in the fucking countryside enjoying the air for once... ;)

    BTW Steve, I'll pay you the 4 figures you mentioned earlier to not run a single ad on your server for a year.
