my question is what cables do i need. im not sure what cables are needed and waht connectors are on the dell itself.
Anthony said:Considering 650 is barely cut down version (in small dosage) of Parhelia, and if you take price of the same into consideration, it is not worth the cost.
brzilian said:WTF are you talking about?
P650 - $150
Parhelia - $300 and up
Anthony said:Yes and you can G200 for 30$, G450 & 550 for a bit more.
Same 2D filter same power.
Parhelia has dedicated software to use up this power, although lets be honest 3D is mediocre compared to competition. But support and 2D is second to none.
P650 and 750 are in no way worth this money if you can find G series (in good shape) as alone products for someone who is buying 650 & 750 they are excellent.
By Matrox standards 650 is fine card but overpriced of what it has to offer compared to G series.
brzilian said:Reread my initial post.
I said buy the P650 if the Dell monitors have DVI inputs BECAUSE the 650 has dual DVI outputs. The G450 does not have DVI outputs, only VGA.
Anthony said:However, this 650 is worth waiting : http://www.matrox.com/mga/workstation/audio/news/press_rel/2004/namm_advisory.cfm
brzilian said:The P650 has always been able to do that and that press release is 6 months old.
