Personally I think matrox cards are some of the best in 2d. They display at very high resolutions very well, they always have a good RAMDAC and that is the reason they display well. However, they are lagging in MANY other areas. Their drivers are some of the worst availible, not only does it

The "PC solution" offered by Sony, Sharp and others is a strange stopgap. First off, they cost only slightly less than current portable MP3 devices. Second, MP3 compression is decidedly lower quality than MD's ATRAC compression, and recording from a CD to an MP3 to an MD puts the music through
