stev1337 ... you may find that a 64MB P card may be a fine gaming card. Remember that the P has improved memory management and is more memory efficient in the way it uses 16xFAA.

Ahh, but we're not paying for performance, we're paying for quality and features!

It is all in how you gauge performance. There is a lot more to it than just frames per second. Really, 100fps and 200fps, if the benchmark didn't tell you, would anyone be able to tell the difference?
I am a little confused as to why Matrox is setting this card up as a gaming card. I understand they will sell more cards this way. I hope that the reviews for this card don't center on its gaming, and gets some decent reviews by some real workstation folk, that actually use a computer for more than fragging.

Anyone who thinks the card will be 1/2 the initial price in six months is fooling themselves.
3 years later, G400 is still not 1/2 it's original price.Celeron 566@877 1.8V, 256meg generic PC-100 RAM (running at CAS2) Abit BH6, G400 16meg DH@150/200, Western Digital Expert 18gig, Ricoh mp7040A(morphed to mp7060A) Pioneer 6X DVD slot load, Motorola Cable Modem w/DEC ethernet card, Soundblaster Live Value Ver. 2, Viewsonic GT 775

Because today a dollar is only worth 7,6 Norwegian Kroners. That means that you by ordering the card from shopmatrox, can get it for around 3200 NOK. Just half a year ago, that was equal to ca. 320$. I liiiiiiiike it ;D
As for the 1 USD = 7,6 NOK... Then it's gone up... When I checked the currency exchange before pre-ordering, it was 7,4... Oh, well...
