| Important notes | |||
| • | Be sure to check the
individual compatibility details for the
motherboard or
system of
your choice to see which display cards and sound cards were tested with it, as
well as to read about any known issues. |
||
| • | It is recommended that
you use a computer equipped with a power supply of at least 350 watts. Although
the RT.X does not consume much power, fully configured recommended systems with
a high-end graphics card (such as Matrox Parhelia, ATI Radeon, or NVIDIA
GeForce4), two or three hard drives, and a powerful CPU will push the limits of
inferior 250 watt power supplies. |
||
| • | When using some AGP
display cards that contain 256 MB or more of memory, the Matrox WYSIWYG
DirectShow Control Panel may not properly display video played back from some
DirectShow applications (such as Windows Media Player or Adobe Encore DVD) on
your NTSC or PAL video monitor. If this happens, you can disable the WYSIWYG
Control Panel, as explained in your RT.X documentation. Note that this limitation does not occur with Matrox Parhelia AGP display cards (with driver version 1.07 or later). |
