I'd add that Matrox cards are excellent in the 2D arena. I still have an old G200 here and It beats the socks off the ATI Rage128 I also have as far as clarity and general piqué are concerned. Obviously, the Rage128 does better than the G200 in the 3D department, although not in FreeBSD for some reason I have yet to fathom out. In Linux it works fine. -- G.
