Re Metgrab, I thought the Matrox Meteor and PPRO 200Mhz combo was a no-no, ie., would lock the system in question. Has that been fixed? Re the Matrox and Intel cards, besides the better price are there compelling technicals reason to choose the Intel card over the Matrox? I recall your mentioning the DMA programmable feature of the Intel card, was it fun programming that, did you get to do anything clever to optimize dma transfers? -- Denis
