RE: filmscanners: Matrox G400 vs G450

["laurie" <laurie@advancenet.net>]

I am using that card right now with dual 17 inch monitors; it works just
fine.  You might be able tyo get the 450 at a cheap price since Matrox has
just come out with a 550 card. The major distinctions in these cards seems
to be in those features which are more important to gamers than to graphic
artists in terms of suich things as speed of three dimensional rendering.
Personally, I think the 400 will work just fine without going to anuy
additional expense.  Spend the money on such things as more RAM, a larger
hard drive, or the like.

Subject: filmscanners: Matrox G400 vs G450


I've been thinking about buying a Matrox G450 with the dual head feature due
to recommendations on this list.  I just bought a workstation that will come
with a Matrox G400.  For scanning and tweaking in PS6 is this card going to
do as well as the G450 or should I upgrade.  What is the difference between
these two cards?  Looking at the Matrox web site, it does not seem apparent
to me.  Any help?
