[lug] 2D cards

[Gary Hodges]

Are the Matrox cards still the way to go for 2D?  I'm going to be 
putting together a computer in the coming months and have been looking 
at various components.  I like that the Matrox G550 PCIe is passively 
cooled, but it seems to be a bit on the lean side for the $140ish price. 
  I'll buy it if Matrox are still best 2D cards, but maybe there are 
equal cards at 2D that also have better 3D.
