I am looking at the Matrox G400 Max and would also be interested to here
opinions on this and other cards.

Also, whilst Conor is asking, I need help deciding between an Athlon system or a
dual Celeron (using ABIT BP6).

The Athlon would probably be better suited to what I am doing (python and perl
development, XML/ SGML, GIMP, running NT with VMware -- that sort of thing) but
there is a certain coolness factor about having my own SMP machine that is very
tempting.

Any opinions/ suggestions?

Thanks,

Murray Spork
