Matrox is the only company I've ever heard make noise about their 2D performance. The box from my G400 DualHead billed it as the fastest 2D accelerator ever created. Don't know if it's true, but the 2D performs quite well for me! The mga driver has a very good reputation for 2D

Well, I use FreeBSD and I figure I'm not going to get great 3D performance no matter what with nvidia only producing linux binary drivers. So I may as well go for the absolute best 2D I can get. Cost really isn't an issue, other than not wanting to pay $400 for top-end 3D performance I'll
