Included Software

Matrox eDualHead. Matrox eDualHead is a set of Web browser utilities to help you get the most out of multiple displays. Matrox eDualHead software supports Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or later. It includes the following:

PageJump. Use Matrox PageJump to view Web page jumps in another browser window. When you start PageJump, it opens 2 browser windows. To use the PageJump feature, hold down the [Ctrl] key while clicking a hypertext link. The page pointed to by that link will appear in the other browser window. With this feature you can click a link and then still see the page that contained the link. For example, with a product catalog, you could view a list of products in one browser window and, with PageJump, view the product information in the other browser window.

PageWrap. Use Matrox PageWrap to view the continuation of a long Web page in at least one other browser window. As you scroll up or down in one browser window, PageWrap updates the other browser windows so that they show previous and/or subsequent parts of the page. In this way, PageWrap simulates a multiple column view of a single Web page.

Among other things, you can configure how many browser windows PageWrap uses and how much overlap there is between windows.Matrox

PageLog. Use Matrox PageLog to maintain a list of links or locations (URLs) you've visited with any instance of Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer. Among other things, with PageLog you can:

• Keep a history of the locations you've visited.
• Go to a location recorded in the list.
• By dragging-and-dropping, rearrange the list.
• By right-clicking a list item, perform various actions on that item.
• Save your list.

While by no means necessary, e DualHead software was designed to maximize the performance of the card and provide an efficient way to interact with the internet in new ways. Productivity is what this card is all about.

Another great feature on the disk is the bios back up and update utility. Some higher end graphics card manufacturers could take a hint here. Some times the difference between compatibility and  BSOD is a simple low level BIOS upgrade.

Conclusion

All in all this is a very awesome card. Anyone who needs a multi-monitor or editing solution would do well to pick this one up. Designed for speed and streamlined for the intermediate workstation, the Matrox Millenium P750 has so much flexibility in it, that it will be our card of choice for the office here for some time to come.

Hardcore gamers need not apply!

We would have liked to have seen a more inclusive software bundle. Probably not a game title, but something along the lines of what the card is designed for. Photo or video editing software would have been nice as well as some of the other software that is downloadable to be included on the disk and automatically installed if needed. As it is you have to register on the Matrox site to download these specialty items.
