  If you have a Pentium II go for the Matrox Millennium II, if you have a
Pentium Pro, MMX, or Plain you might want to try the ATI Wonder or Maxtrox
Mystique.

  The Matrox Mystique is faster than the ATI Wonder, but the ATI Wonder has
more support in Windows 98. Also the ATI Wonder has a TV / Video In, Video
Out, The Matrox Mystique you need to get the Rainbow Runner.

  Both of the cards are PCI, have 4MB SGRAM Standard. The one big factor
though, the Matrox Mystique is Bus Mastering. You want Bus Mastering for
speed.

  Good luck in your search and I hope this information helps you out.
