Sue FYI

I found the following message in the Matrox news group. It provides some insight into why your computer shop is having problems with the P3V4X and G400 combination. The P3V-133 is similar to the P3V4X. It uses the same Via-Appolo Pro 133 chip set. Except it has 4 PCI slots and only supports AGP 1X and 2X.

"I'm using the Matrox G400 Max Dualhead with the Asus P3V-133 (not quite identical to the boards in your question) but I did have some difficulties making everything work. To make a long story short, I had to remove all my other cards and had to start the system with just the motherboard & the video card ... then, I had to use the latest unified drivers (from the Matrox site) to make the card work with Win98SE. There's one little quirk left, everytime I reboot, I have to
make sure that my 3COM USB External Modem is not plugged into my USB hub, otherwise, the Windows boot-up process won't proceed - not sure if this is a Matrox, an Asus, a 3COM or a Xircom issue !?! but I can bet that if I phone one of these companies, they will be more than happy to tell me that it's the other company's problem <g>. Whatever
the case is ... unfortunately, it's still my problem !

Hope this helps."
