Matrox, because of the visual quality and overall speed.
3DfX, because of the overall speed.
ATI, because RagePRO just simply works for most everything and the Radeon will rock. (And with it, they’re leaping to first if it’s as good as it looks…)

All of them are choices due to them being Open Sourced with a willingness to release programming details to any truly interested party.

NVidia’s NOT a choice- because of being a corporate bully and being utterly closed.

The DRI speed is good and i never got any hangs in hours of playing q3 :) G400 is not a speed monster like the GForce cards with theire GPU but for the price its great and dual head rox :)

I’ve wanted to upgrade to XFree86 4.0 but I’ve heard that driver is really unstable and was wondering about this one.[br][br]Dodger_

The mga.o driver that comes with XFree 4.0.1 supports both of these chipsets. What will happen if I use this driver? Will I lose support for the older card?

(I’m going to find out myself soon… just wondering if anybody here already tried…)

Did those Matrox guys use a time-machine to bring back drivers from the future? :))
