Grafic Card.... confusion!

alain,
I own several Matrox cards, including the QUAD g200 MMS and the g550 Dual DVI. Both of these cards are exellent. In fact, I have them both in the same computer for the capability to use 6 (digital) monitors. All this with one driver for both cards.
The new Matrox cards are even a better deal. I strongly recommend them.

I'm using a Dual DVI and am very happy with it. I don't think you can go wrong with it. It's not a card for gaming, but for financial applications it is bullet proof.
Question for Nitro: I'm thinking to add an additional PCI card to my system (G550 Dual DVI already populates the AGP) and am interested to know if there are any compatibility issues I should consider. I assume that as long as I stay with Matrox, I should be OK, but would like to hear it from the horses mouth.
Thanks.

my system is driving four dual matrox cards (1AGP&3PCI). very pleased with it.
and how is it using the normal G550 with one DVI and one Analog for two flat screens.
The problem is that I have just figured out that they don't sell that card here in Switzerland... Is there a big quality loss when I use one of the flat screens with the analog head of the G550 card.
thanx,

I'm temporarily using the G550 (not the Dual Dvi version). I have two Samsung 181T monitors (which I recommend highly). One is running digital, the other analog. There does not appear to be any difference in quality. Considering that the G550 Dual DVI version is more expensive AND to run dual digital you have to buy a custom proprietary cable (another $60), you can save some money without any apparent quality loss by going with the G550 (non Dual DVI version).
