Not very lucky there are you?  I've got two Matroxes at home in two
different computers: G400 16MB Single Head with Dual Head upgrade, and one
standard (non-max) 32MB Dual head.  Both work perfectly without a glitch.  I
use them both for DVD playback on screen and external TV as well as cloning
to TV or second monitor.  Main problem with this card lies in its demands
for the mainboard as I've seen.  It also doesn't seem to work flawlessly
with AMD's cpu's.  It's also the only card that supports HIGH resolutions on
the secondary monitor.  Ow, I'm not talking about the 'real pro' competition
like an Intergraph Wildcat series or the likes...

How's this related to the list?  Well... does anyone use that e-scrolling
thing that comes with the newer drivers?  Where you have a webpage spread
accross two monitors and one follows the scrolling of the other?  Seems like
a bit of a feature you don't really need, but if anyone can point out a
really great benefits of this, it'd be nice.
