Uh? I have another system which uses a Matrox Millennium I 4MB PCI,
and it works great. I use it at 1152x900x32 mode, although. Have
you tried this color depth? If the Millennium II was my first choice,
it's because I'm very impressed with the Millennium I.

OTOH, I'm not sure if AGP has clear advantages over PCI. I suppose
that AGP should improve the speed of transfers between the CPU and
the adapter's video RAM...

Thanks for all your answers!!
