Banshee. The first hour. All I can say is, goodbye Matrox (Both milleneum, and G200). The 2D on this card is nothing short of AWESOME! Running at 1600x1200 true color, and 2D speed is 1.5-2x faster than my G200. I'm definetly buying 4 more of these. I'm running NT 4.0 Unfortunately, none of my games seem to work just yet. Something is messed up, and I'm still trying to figure out what it is. None of the games I've tried (Unreal, Quake2, some 3dfx demos) seem to be able to initialize glide. I'm sure I'll figure it out soon enough. The Raven comes with a Stereo glasses connector, but no expansion connectors for VESA (never used that one), or the optional DVD thing. Mind you, the holes are there, so I can just solder one if I need it : ) First impression is that this is a totally kick ass 2D card (and believe me, 2D does matter. Cards like the ATI, and Permedia 2 have 2D that is UNACCEPTABLY slow (5-10x slower)).
