Either way the mentioned pre-G200 Matrox cards suck for 3D, they're only good for their 2D and VGA signal and the PowerVR (Matrox M3D included) trumps them, but you do get the advantage of a sharp picture since it passes to host :) but then again, you could pair the PCX2 with a later Radeon or any …

A little note that you need at least normal2x on anyway for 320x200/240 to look right. I'ts doublescan and your CRT probably does not support actual 320x200 video modes.
