Millenium II

Hi,

i have a millenium ii pci card on a xp pro sp1 system with directx 9.0b. I
can't run any application which requires 3d hardware aceleration -the system
doesn't detect any "compatible" 3d hardware card- although in the
specifications of the card you can read she have such functionality. A
program like Aida show me the card have 3d h-a too. It's the driver, a
native xp, which doesn't have it? I 've tried with the latest drivers from
matrox, but there is no 3d too. The question is: Have or no have 3d h-a this
card? When the answer be of course, why can't i use it and how can?

Thanks
Jose Lucas

The Millenium II has no modern DirectX capabilities, DX9 or
otherwise. There is no hardware acceleration, no video overlay
support, etc etc.

Get a newer card.
