I have the MGA Impression with Zbuffer and 4 megs. It's a great card, but currently lacks good support for 3D Studio. The key problem is Matrox idiotic choice of VGA chipset. It is sooooo slooooowwww!!!! Until Vibrant finishes the MGA in-line driver for R3, the redraws in 3DS using the Vibrant VESA mode are slow (this is a particular nuisance and hindrance in the keyframer where wireframe playback is too slow, and only rendering previews will give you a decent idea of the motion/speed). I still love the card, though, and am suffering with the horrid VGA VESA until the Vibrant drivers are finished. I'm sure it'll scream then.
