Head Two Head: Matrox Millennium G450

Features: What's New?

The predecessor was available in several versions, as the G400 series was shipped with varying clock speeds for chip and graphics memory. The addition "MAX" signifies higher clock speeds. In addition, there are two models available, G400 SH and DH. SH stands for Single Head, DH means Dual Head which is Matrox's technique to drive two outputs using one graphics board (monitor/TV or monitor/monitor).

This variety is no longer available since the Millennium G450 comes with two "heads" by default. A splitter cable which is included lets you attach a TV or VCR via S-Video or Composite. You can also get the G450 with a DVI port if you want to attach a digital flat panel. The version coming with 32 MB or DDR memory is primarily meant for the retail market. Bulk and OEM versions are also available, but with only 16 MB DDR SDRAM or SDR SDRAM. Please see the table on the next page for more details.
