This card is AGP, and Rory asked about a PCI card.
The Matrox cards are better for one trivial reason: the Matrox drivers
are open sourced and the Linux support is better. Also, the G450
second monitor can be VGA or video. Is the Prophet video out works
under Linux? I prefer the Matrox cards because they're more versatile
for general work and 2D, and I don't need fast 3D rendering for gaming.
But for a Gem project, I would use a Prophet under Windows, although
I'd rather drive a screen or projector with VGA than NTSC.
But you're right: NVidia is killing competition, at least in the
younger community where computers equals 3D gaming consoles...
