You might be interested in this candid response re: Millenium card from Dave
White@ Matrox….
>>The mga is not a dos accelerator. It is adequate for most dos applications,
but when an application that requires high frame rates, most notably multimedia
games for dos, you may experience lost or slow refresh rates. As this is a
hardware limitation of the vga included on the mga, there are no software
workarounds. You have the option of installing a seperate vga card and monitor
for those important dos applications!

I considered buying this card, but after reading all the horror stories here &
on Matrox' forum, I reconsidered. Also, video performance is poor due to lousy
(as oppossed to good, not in the JPEG sense) interpolation.
