(More customer reviews)This is a great graphics card for business applications, running a pair of 24" monitors at 1920x1200. It is stable, fanless, and runs cool, unlike most fanless graphics cards that will support the latest high rez monitors.
After upgrading from Vista x64 to Windows 7 x64, I couldn't watch videos on the computer. I tried to upgrade from the old driver that worked in Vista to the latest driver that supports Windows 7 x64 following directions on the Matrox support website, but the self-installing driver package in an exe file wouldn't run.
I contacted Matrox tech support and was advised that when I ran the Windows 7 upgrade disk, my old driver was "locked in", but since it's not a Windows 7 driver, Windows 7 couldn't recognize it to uninstall. They said the only solution was to do a clean install of Windows 7. They said that I should have uninstalled the old driver before upgrading to Windows 7.
In fact, the advice I received from Matrox was incompetent. You only need to unpack the exe file provided by Matrox and install the Windows 7 driver inf file through Device Manager. Then run Device Manager again to install the entire package. There is no need to do a clean install, as claimed by Matrox. Still, it would have been easier to update the driver before upgrading to Windows 7.
