1. Matrox does not have the overheating problems many of the other cards do
when under heavy, constant use.
2. Matrox understands what "video professional" means (our opinion) as well
as what "gamer video" means (our opinion) and is going a different
direction to achieve higher quality results.
3. Dual Head advantage comes in handy for video professionals and
programmers.
4. Matrox understands "The Dream" we have and respects what we are trying
to do.
5. Matrox is excited about working with us and we are excited about working
with them.
6. Dave Haynie likes the Matrox G400 too. :)
I won't go into any of the technical reasons for the above as that would
get into or close to NDA water.
