I'd add that Matrox cards are excellent in the 2D arena. I still have an old G200 here and It beats the socks off the ATI Rage128 I also have as far as clarity and general piquà are concerned.
Obviously, the Rage128 does better than the G200 in the 3D department, although not in FreeBSD for some reason I have yet to fathom out. In Linux it works fine.
If one can get them for free (they seem to become available in larger numbers these days, when machines from around 1999/2000 get scrapped), then Matrox cards (up to g500) are still quite decent for "office" work. However, I have seen that new ones are still sold for up to 100 EUR, which is just outrageous, imho. Considering that you can get a R9200 for half the price, which not only sports facilities like DVI and TV-Out but also supports 8x AGP, has 4-8x the memory and runs circles around the MGA, and image quality is roughly comparable, imho.
