I loved my matrox card, that is kind of their bag, but unfortunetly the one I had needed to be bound to a small range of video cards to work, and as great as that quality was/is its hard for me to use a 1mb PCI card post y2k :-/

course they still produce stellar products at a equivalent cost which suits them to the pro market, unlike the "olden days"

before 3d acceleration came to be "required" you couldn't get me off of matrox, unfortunately they were unable to keep up with nvidia and ATI aside from the supertard workstation cards which is a shame considering the first 3d accelerator I had was a matrox and it was pretty durn good for the time (though software usage was very limited)
