Some time ago Matrox introduced a new Matrox Millenium G550 PCIe, which runs on PCI Express x1. If you find it difficult to understand that x1, you are right, because usually graphic cards use PCI Express x16, especially the new more developed systems. But as soon as we look at the specifications, it becomes clear why Matrox decided for this x1 slot. On this card there is an old G550 processor, which is not capable to run modern gmaes (DirectX 7 support only, 2×2,...). But this card was not ment for that sort of users, servers and industrial computers are the targeted group.
G550 has 32 MB of memory with 64-bit connection and can be used to plug in two monitors. Matrox haven't develepoed a new processor to work on the PCI bridge but it wnet down the same path as Nvidia and ATi - Texas Insturments develpoed a chip, which transforms signals for PCis.
Notice from BuffaloHELP:
A part of forum's posting rule is that you must post in language that all members can understand. Removing last two lines.
This model of the graphics card can't be considered new, because the information about its model was available long time ago, so there is nothing new in G550 chip and based on it graphics card.

I'm interested in upgrading my graphic card (only months old) because it's too slow when I
play BF2. Currently I have a 256mb 64-bit GeForce 7100 GS. I want to get a 512mb GeForce card but
there's a 256mb card with a higher bit-count. I don't know the difference between RAM and
Bit. i want to be able to set all the graphic settings to high and still be able to play the game
smoothly. Which should I get, the one with higher bit or ram? And please tell me what each spec
does to the video card....

I just recently dug up one of my old notebook computers and found out that there is a known graphics
problem with the toshiba laptops. The monitor has a wavy and distorted picture to it and its very
hard to move the mouse around. The cursor will start to fade in and out and all of the moving
objects will be very blury. Now i understand that this is an old laptop and it may be suppose to
have a blury video output, but the mouse fading shouldnt be happening i thought. Until i read up
online that alot of the same models and even newer models are having this problem. It does...
Lets say 50 years form now, how advanced will GPU's be? Its a good question, ive played the
latest top agmes and I am utterly blown away by the power and the detail. With the nex xBox 360 its
the same, I was blown away. The poeple, animations, animals, cars look REAL! What about 100
years form now! IMAGINE people what we are talking about. Subtract 100 years from this date that
you are curently living. Now what technology did they ahve then? add 100 years and boom you are abck
where you started! The diffrence is AMAZING! 100 years ago they didnt even ...

Intel wishes to reach even more for cheap (integrated) graphical solutions and is developing a new
solution on this department - GMA 950. We are talking about a solid graphic soltion, which will be a
part of i945G chip, what is interesting for the manufacturers of computers that are built to be used
in offices. So Dell and HP are very likely to use this option because it is cheap and enough
powerful. There are also roomers, that this card is goin to be capable of running games like Doom
3... This is also a bad news for Nvidia and ATI, which will loose a nice part of the...
I'm planning to upgrade my computer soon. Right now i'm using a *BLEEP* Nvidia Geforce 2 mx
card, which can barely play any top of the line games, and i am planning to upgrade it soon.
Question is, which graphic card should i get? I haven't done any research yet, so i'm asking
on a blind whim. My friend has a Geforce FX 5700 and he says it runs like a charm... So, any
suggestions?...
