I'm running the Matrox Millenium board, and am reasonably happy
with it.  I don't have any 3D apps though, so I can't tell you 
if the 3D is working in Warp.  I do know that the 3D is working
in the WinOS2 and DOS sessions.


As an aside, does OS/2 actually support a 3D video API?  I don't
know any apps that would use it.
