Hi guys, About display cards I am user of many of them. I would have my say that Matrox Mellinium Rules. Its the best video card I have come across. A slight difference is that I have Matrox Mellinium with 4mb WRAM. I love it. Where have you seen the benchmarks? The benchmarks by PC-Magzine were with beta drivers of Matrox Mellinium. Now the final driver is here. So thats really fast. And latest bios (2.30) update can be downloaded from Maxrox site. This makes card neatly 1.5 to 2 times faster in most of the operations. Regards, Mansih Gajria.
