	It is $50 less than the Matrox Millenium which has 4mb WRAM,
MPEG decoding hardware, 3D acceleration, and is the 2nd fastest gfx
board in existance for the PC (the ~ $800 Imagine 128 is the only one
faster -- and the Matrox is WWAAAYYY faster in DOS than the Imagine is).
It would be idiotic to consider the CL 3D board when the Matrox can
be had.  ...if you can ever find it in stock.

	Look at the AWE32 to see this is true.  Geez.
