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.
