If you want a excellent all round video card try Hercules Graphite
Terminator 64.  Based around Vision 968, much better than 864, faster
than Matrox on speed (according to test reports) but loses on price.

I know that Diamond do version with the same chipset, but Hercules
after sales is excellent and the drivers and docs are better.
