Matrox Millennium graphics cards have for years proven reliable, with great drivers, good 2D rendering capabilities, and decent resolutions are supported. They let you span or clone two monitors without adding a second video card. The most recent design in the Millennium G series, the G550, has been in production for four years as an AGP and PCI card. Today, PCI Express is replacing AGP as the standard video card interface in newer motherboards, and the Matrox adapter is now available in a PCI Express configuration. Here's what to expect from it.
Matrox did indeed (really) try to go after the fledgling 3D market. However, the competition was able to easily out do them in time. It was only then that Matrox decided to keep with the high quality 2D brand recognition that made them popular originally (well.. back then 2D performance was very important in gaming and Matrox certainly targeted that space).
Matrox stopped being a 3D company when they realized that they stink at it. Shoot, they really didn't stop until after Parhelia when you get right down to it.
Article says Matrox has ALWAYS been just about 2D. That's simply not true.
