>It has 4 PCI slots and one AGP slot. They are not shared.<

That's what I want to hear! This frees up a PCI slot
so I can have a sound card.

Just finished talking to Matrox Tech support.
Win 98 Drivers for all cards will be available
on June 25, the time of Win 98 release.

As for multimonitors compatibility, it was the techies
belief that all cards, AGP and PCI had to be the same (hence Millenium II is the only one that comes in both AGP and PCI). I told
him this was so for Win NT, but not so for Win 98. He asked someone
else and they said it was an issue with the operating system and
not the card. He told me to ask Microsoft.

I recall reading in an earlier post that it is possible to run
different brands of cards with Win 98. Anyone please correct me
if wrong.

I really like the Matrox Productiva G100. It has all that I need.
It only comes in AGP so I told the guy to put in a word to make
them in PCI as well. This card has 8mb of SDRAM as ZeusPaul pointed out. I'll probably go with this AGP and Mystique 220 PCI combination
if it will work. Another AGP alternative would be Millinium II.
Zeuspaul, what are your thoughts on the comparison of the Productiva
vs Millenium II?

PriceWatch:
Mystique 220 ~$60 = 220 RamDac; 4 SGRAM
Productiva ~ $75 = 230 RamDac; 8 SDRAM
Millenium II ~ $105 = 250 RamDac; 4 WRAM
Millenium II G200 ~ $150 (from Matrox site) = 250 RamDac 8 ??

S.W.
