Matrox Millenium - 175 RamDac

I'd appreciate some help on this issue - I did a search, but still
couldn't find a clear answer.

I've been offered a Matrox Millenium 4 meg second-user, which is a
system pull from a Gateway or AST machine - I suspect the former.

I am aware of some problems with the 'budget' versions of the Millenium
used in Gateway machines - am I right in thinking that the 175Mhz RamDac
version is the Gateway version, and that the original retail version was
220Mhz, and that is the only version supported by Matrox.

What is 'wrong' with the budget version - is there some software that
won't run on it.

I was in the market for a videocard that will run well with Win95, and
has reasonable DOS and Mpeg performance - can anybody suggest anything,
with a budget of around UKP90. (Other than a second user Gatrox
millenium :)  )

Thanks,

Stu
