Ditto the first response. What exactly do you want to know?

I run a Parhelia with triple screens, and love it to bits.
Surroung gaming kicks butt!

I've played many, mostly shooters.
Currently playing a lot of UT2004.
Before that was Jedi Academy and ST:Elite Force2, and others.
Most games built on the Unreal and Quake3 engines work fine.
I've also dabbled with games like Neverwinter nights and the like in surround mode.
There are also lots of race and flight sims that work with surround.

If you check my profile, you'll find a link to the forums I moderate, where there are lots of Matrox users who play many different types of games...

Don't bother with P750. It's litterally 1/2 the 3D speed of Parhelia.
The 128meg Parhelia is slightly faster than the 256meg version, due to the 256 having a lower clock speed.

If you wait a couple more weeks, Matrox is about to release a revised Parhelia 8x (original Parhelia was only 4x). There will be no significant speed difference, but they have fixed some hardware bugs that were in the original Parhelia.
