Nice comments:

I own a G400 and even though I don't know for sure, I expect the G550 to be at least as fast, 2D or 3D.

Anyone have any real evidence that the G550 is faster in 3D than G400 vanilla?

If you want a 2D card made in this century and don't need DVI, get a G450. I hear people talk up the G400 MAX, but if you want DualHead support for an OS made in this century, you need at least a G450.

WinXP+DualHead+G400MAX alive and kicking, thank you... Okay so I know that the G450 cards are newer, but do you know anyone that would like to upgrade to a card with same features but inferior performance? Me neither... IMHO it'd be stupid^2 for Matrox to cease support on their fastest product before they come out with a better one.

No way i will believe that G550 gets 8.8 Fps in Quake 3 at 800x600x32 and everything on max. My vanila G400 gets 38fps at this setting and 31fps not overclocked.
