I'm with you guys here, in the general sense.  I don't have a Matrox, I have
an ATI, but every now and then someone (who undoubtedly is feeling mighty
fine about spending $600 on a Voodoo-2 SLI setup and needs to tell someone
else their 3d card sucks, just because his doesn't) posts something about
how this card sucks and that card sucks.  I don't know what the problem is;
my ATI came OEM on my machine and accelerates everything I play, with
transparent textures, colored lighting, and plenty of FPS.

 Sure, I'd rather have a 3dfx.  I'd also rather have a Porsche than my
Pontiac, but then again my Pontiac drives just wonderfully.  Know what I
mean, Vern?
