>> New Windows 98 upgrade driver Matrox will be releasing a driver for customers who want to upgrade their systems from Windows 3.1x or Windows 95 to Windows 98. This driver will work with all Matrox products dating back to the original Millennium which was released in 1996. << More good news. This changes things 180 degrees from yesterdays pessimistic message. >>Post #929: It would seem reasonable that these upgraded Win '98 drivers would be compatible for multimonitor configuration. Agree? YES! >>A question: When I buy four cards, do I buy all AGP and put them in the PCI slots? (I've never seen what an AGP slot looks like.) Or do I buy 1 AGP and 3 PCI?<< Standard motherboards have only one AGP slot and either 3 or 4 PCI slots. Hence you would buy one video adapter for the AGP slot and 3 video adapters for the PCI slots. As far as I know the AGP and PCI slot video adapters are not interchangeable. Please correct me if I am wrong. Physically the slots look exactly the same but functionally are different. >> If so, which card, Mystique 220 or new Productiva, would be preferable? << My suggestion is: One Productiva G100 Matrox only makes an AGP version of this video adapter. Three Mystique 220s As far I could determine Matrox only makes an PCI version of this video adapter. I suggest the model with 4 megabytes of memory. My only pessimistic comment is Matrox says the new driver will be released soon. Soon for software can mean any where from 30 days to one year.
