You need a 3D card of some sort? Your Matrox millenium os *NOT* a 
trude 3D card (although it does provide some 3d functions).

GPL supports the Rendition or 3Dfx 3D chipsets. So you need a 
Rendition or 3Dfx card to get all the graphics and an improved frame 
rate. (with a 200Pro you are probably better off getting a 3Dfx 
Voodoo1 card, as your cpu would be a bottleneck with avoodoo2 card?)
