DESCRIPTION


The Matrox G200 MMS Quad-Head PCI Graphics Card provides high performance, multi-
monitor 2D imaging. With four G200 graphics controllers each supported with an 8-MB SGRAM
frame buffer, the card can provide, with appropriate OS, separate images on up to four displays.
Each controller can drive either an analog RGB monitor or a digital video interface-compliant
monitor (but not both).
