: As you know you need full vbe3 support for thos advance mame modes to work.
: There is a vbe3 utility for matrox cards, see this message on this board:

: The g400 maybe not the fastest card around but it has the most gorgeous 2d colors of them all...in my opinion ;-)
: Let us know which card you choose and how it works, because me and others will have to upgrade also in the near future.

: : Well, soon I hope to get a new system, hopefully a P3-800 or better, but the graphics card is the sticky point. Seems Scitech is dead so I can't depend on them anymore for VESA/low res support etc.
: : Advance MAME is my primary gaming app, so 3D is not that important, but decent 3D support would be cool too. Given that, what would be my best bet for a new card? I'm really ignorant about graphics cards so I'd appreciate any suggestions.
: : I had wanted a GeForce, but like I said, my primary interest is being able to use all my cool custom modes in Advance MAME. I don't think a GeForce will do that without something like Scitech Display Doctor, and that product hasn't been updated in 2 years. Thanks.
