    Cirrus Logic 5446 PCI Integrated (1MB)
    Matrox Mystique 220 PCI (4MB)
    Dual 12MB VoodooIIs
    Matrox Marvel G200 (8MB + 8MB)
    Matrox Marvel G400 (16MB)
    Asus V7700 Deluxe AGP (32MB DDR)

    Fortunately, only my last card has taken me from the fold. VoodooII use to be the perfect complement for the older Matrox cards and the 5446 was on my first machine.

      Millenium 2MB + XL-MPEG ($700 Canadian, 1995)
      Millenium II 4MB
      m3D
      Marvel G200
      G400 32MB DH

      To a Matroxoholic these are more than just video cards.

      Time for a PC rebuild with Parhelia. This could get expensive.... more monitors, bigger desk, larger room, house expansion for computer room, divorce (cause the expansion wasn't in the dining area), loss of house, alimony...

      Parhelia will cost much more than $400US

            What? No RT2500?

            You aren't a Matrox whore after all.

              The first Matrox card i used, and i still have here in the house is a Impression (I guess the name was that, but on the box there is written IMPRESS/AT)

              then i used a Millennium 2 Mb
              a millennium 2Mb+2Mb
              a millennium II 8 Mb PCI swithed to a AGP version for free used with a matrox m3D
              a G200 SD 16 Mb
              Rainbow runner G series

              and then shame on me.. a Geforce a gift i received and that i just didn't feel like sweetching back to the G200
              Coupled with the first millennium 2Mb for the second monitor

              What's next? Parhelia 128MB!!!! as soon as it gets here in Itali in the local store.

                Aah yes, the good old days...

                Well I started out with the Matrox Mystique 220 and the greatest thing back then was playing Mech Warrior 2, which looked AWESOME on that Matrox card. If I recall correctly, wasn't the game enhanced some way for the Matrox Mystique 220? I think the sky was moving and the ice had a mirrorlike effect. Boy it sure did look good

                After that I bought the famous Matrox Millennium G200 which I've had in my system just up until recently when it just couldn't do the newest games.

                Now I'm violating (violator 1 spawnie boy 0... you've been violated girlie-man, huh?) my system with ATI until I can get my hands on Parhelia

                  My first was the Millennium II 8MB PCI Card. Still have it wrapped up here in the house.

                  Then it was on to a G400 32MB OEM Single Head, ended up putting that in my Father-In-Law's computer, still running today.

                  Then I got myself a G400 MAX, retail version, still running in my kids computer.

                  Then I put a G550 32MB Retail version in my Brother-In-Law's computer when I built it for him.

                  Now Im anxiously awaiting the Parhelia so I can add that to my list.

                    First Matrox was Mystique 2Mb + 2Mb memory upgrade.
                    Then an M3d quickly replaced by a Voodoo²
                    And finally the G400max I'm still using.
                    In a few month I'll get a Parhelia.

                      Millenium 4MB (upgraded to 8MB), 1995 I think, one of the first cards in Germany.

                        I only have these running here:
                        Matrox Mystique 220 (4MB) PCI
                        Martox Mill. G400 DH (32MB) AGP

                        The Mystique is in my Dual Celeron 400 MHz System, that I haven't used in the last 4 month.....but's comming back as my Video Recording PC....I only have to code the DVB driver for my OS/2....this will take at least this year....

                        The G400 WAS in my Dual Celeron System, but moved to my AMD Athlon 1.2 GHz in Sep. 2001!

                        My Internet Dialup, Development, Web- and FTP-Server (Dual Pentium 200 MHz) is working with my beloved ET-6000 based Hercules Dynamite Video (4MB - PCI).

                        When I get my Matrox Parhelia all cards are running in my PCs get a sticker on it saying "Powered by Matrox" because all cards will be swapped!

                        Ok, now it's soccer time....

                        I hope Senegal wins......

                                An original Mystique (not the 220, with 2MB; still working !); after that I was hooked on Matrox and got a Millenium G200 for my next system. And my next upgrad *must* contain a Matrox-card as well, so that likely is going to be the Parhelia...

                                (other cards Trident 8900 (ISA), Trident 9400CXi (VLB), 2x S3 801/805 (VLB))
