Ian-

I have a Matrox G200MMS Quad/PCI  Digital/Analog
graphics display adaptor. Didn't realize that 
Matrox had a QUAD G450mms. At any rate, you can get a
ton of info on this card from www.elitetrader.com
I've personally written a full review of my
experiences etc. plus, there are a ton from other
members. In a nutshell, the card is solid,(G200mms),
since I installed it into my trading system it
has run with zero down time. It has been almost a
year, and I never shut the system down. It had 2000,
then I switched to XP Pro, 6 or so months back.
I have maybe 4-5 workspaces open daily, with 7-10
charts with maybe an avg. of 7-8 indicators..etc.
The lines and colors are always sharp and crisp.
I've tried many video cards from many manufacturers,
Matrox did a fine job with their G200mms series IMO.

Bought mine on E-bay brand new in the box with all
CDs,manuals, docs., a pair of 6' digital cables for
$200.

If you look around it shouldn't be that hard to find
one.
