If you want to do anything that invovles real 3D, the Matrox is a very
bad choice.  However, if you don't play Quake3, the Matrox cards are the
best out there.  The difference between clarity, resolution, lack of
ghosting, etc, between my Matrox G400 and Nvidia GForce 2 is marked.
The Matrox is the cleanest card out there that I have ever seen.
