        Dear Jorge,

        Yes, you get the bonus points for AlphaNT support... In fact, a double
bonus because it supports dual monitors under Mac, AlphaNT, and NT/x86.

        One minor problem, though: The Matrox Millenium II PCI series has been
discontinued... When I tried to find where to buy them after Chip Merchant
dropped them from their list, I eMailed Matrox as to the status; and they
politely replied that the Millenium II was discontinued.

        Unfortunately, both major RISC platforms - Alpha and PowerPC - lack AGP
video interface slots... AGP is restricted to the x86 platform.

        The Tanzania board has a 66 mHz 32 bit PCI video slot, and
the 264 board
has a 64 bit PCI slot...

        Cheers!
        Dan
