I'm trying to setup a new AG display machine which uses a Matrox G450 
AGP card and two G450 PCI cards.  Trouble is, I haven't been able to 
find a vendor with the PCI G450's in stock, including Mwave.com, 
TheChipMerchant.com, Microwarehouse.com, and as a last resort Matrox 
itself.  Matrox was unable/unwilling to give me a date when they 
would be able to ship more product.

This is probably relevant to anyone who is trying to build a new 
display machine with the latest recommended specs:  Does anyone know 
of a vendor who has PCI Matrox G450 cards in stock?

Thanks,
Steve
