I can't see any mention of the G450 on the Matrox website...
I'll be buying my new PC and GFX card in a few weeks time so I've got
until then to decide... I'd like it to be really fast for gaming and
also to have friendly linux support and cost doesn't matter that much.
(Limit around 600ukp for GFX card).
The G400 would be nice but it's lagging behind the GeForce2 by quite a
bit.
I know I shouldn't get a NVidia card but they're just so fast.... :)
