If the Matrox came with your machine then it is most likely an OEM card.  
The OEM Matrox cards have slower RAMDACs than the retail versions, so that
*may* have been the problem...

Anyways, I was using Metro-X with a Millenium w/4M & it works great, however
friends (who have tried MetroX & X-Inside) have told me that X-Inside is 
*MUCH* better than MetroX.
