Sounds like both the Xinside and Matrox customer support guys are a bunch
of assholes. Doesn't matter how good their products are if they come
across like jerks.
Unless I hear of a change of ways by Matrox or Xinside, they'll never see
a dollar of mine... Diamond figured this out and I'm the proud owner of
a nice, fast, SUPPORTED stealth 64 video vram.
