Identifying A Video Board On An Hp Kayak Xu; Why You Need To Differentiate Between These Two Models - HP Kayak XU03 User Manual

Identifying a Video Board On An HP Kayak XU

How do I identify whether an HP Kayak XU has a Matrox
Millennium II video board or a Matrox Millennium G200?
Check the Support label on the back of the PC (this could be
either on the right or left-hand side of the box).
The Matrox Millennium II Kayak XU model is labeled:
XU6/XXXserie0301.
The Matrox Millennium G200 Kayak XU model is labeled:
XU6/XXXserie0303.
XXX = processor speed.

Why You Need to Differentiate Between These Two Models

When downloading the video drivers from the HP World-Wide Web site, it is
very important that you know which HP Kayak XU model you are upgrading.
This is because the video drivers may not be compatible between the
different video controllers.
Also, when upgrading the video memory on the Matrox Millennium II, the
WRAM memory modules are not compatible with the Matrox Millennium
G200, which uses SGRAM modules.
When you add other PCI video adapters for multi-screen environments, you
also need to know the difference between the HP Kayak XU Series 0301 and
0303 models. Multi-screen is only fully supported when installing two
Millennium II (AGP + PCI) or two Millennium G200 (AGP + PCI) video
boards. Mixing Millennium II and the Millennium G200 video boards is not
currently supported by Hewlett-Packard.
Check the HP World-Wide support page for up-to-date information, at

You may also need to know which HP Kayak XU model you are using when
downloading specific accessories from Matrox.
