I have to admit that the Matrox Perlhemia (whatever) card would be great for "surround Gaming" but they are too slow compared to other cards out there. In 3D Mark 2001se benchmarks (oh no, not another benchmark comparison) the Matrox cards struggled to hit 6500-7000 3D Marks. That compared to GeForce 4 Ti 4600's at about 12000,13000 3D marks and the ATi Radeons hitting and overtaking the 14k mark. If I recall, the matrox cards did compare well/better in 2D benchmarks atleast.
On the subject of quality, matrox should do what ATi did and Nvidia seem to have done, cheat with the drivers. Did a Future Mark '03 with my GF4 Ti4800SE (Basically a Ti4200 for 8X AGP) and got 1500 future marks. Then after installing the latest detonators got over 1800. Now they must have cheated with the drivers
Anyways, a 3 Monitor setup on a card that can compare to the Ti's/FX's and Radeons would be great..
