    I've been offered a Matrox Millenium 4 meg second-user, which is a

    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.
    
 I'm not aware of any real "problems" with the Gatrox, only _perceptions_ based 
 on expectations or misunderstandings.
 
 For the basic card, there is nothing wrong with the Gatrox!  The 175 MHz 
 RAMDAC probably will not cause a perceptible (as opposed to benchmark score) 
 difference unless you are trying to go over 1024 x 768 resolution.  IIRC, the 
 other big difference is the MPEG hardware daughtercard cannot be added to the 
 Gatrox.
    
    What is 'wrong' with the budget version - is there some software that
    won't run on it.
    
 I know of no software that will not run on it.
