    WinNT4.0 and directX..........

    NT 4.0 comes with DirectX 2 and service pack 3 upgrades it to version 3. There is also an unofficial DirectX 5 rip. This means that you can't play games requiring later versions of DirectX and no Direct3D hardware acceleration is supported. So basically you have to stick to old games and OpenGL-based games (or upgrade to Windows 2000).

    G400 and NT

    Am I correct in saying that the G400 under NT will only run games in software mode? I know that D3D is a no-go but it seems that matrox are too lazy to write an OpenGL driver for NT. Am I right? Obviously it won't be a problem when Win2k comes out (final - we don't touch betas), but when is that likely to be? (I heard October 6)

    G400 and NT

    Ignore ny post. Just found this at the (poorly organised) matrox site: "All Matrox G400 based products ship with a full OpenGL ICD for both Windows 9x and Windows NT4." YES!!!
