I'm in the proccess of trading in my S3 ViRGE 4MB card for another, better,
card.
I'm interested in good 2D and 3D. However, there are some issues that i
have to worry about and one of them is driver support. I mostly use Linux
and X-Windows (XFree86 3.3) so the 2D part of the card must be supported by
X-Windows. That rules out all Rendition cards. The better supported are the
ATIs, S3s and Matrox.
I use Windows & DOS for games so the D3D support must be good.
I have the following cards at my reach:
Matrox Mystique 220
ATI 3D Pro Turbo (i think it has a TV-OUT)
My question is, which of them offer the better 2D/3D relation. If it was
only by the reputation & the benchmarks i've seen i'd go for the Matrox
card.
Thanks for any help,

I am in the process of upgrading my P100. I wanted a faster CPU, 17"
monitor and a 2D/3D video card. My supplier, wjo has also been a friend
for several years, wouldn't sell me a Mystique. He said that he has had
performance problems from them.
So what is the "hot" card? The "All in Wonder"?
