Matrox Mystique G200 or Nvidia TNT2 32MB


Does anybody know off hand, which of these two cards is the better performing card, not necessarily on Linux? Well, ok, I am trying to decide which one to put in a Pentium II 350Mhz machine with Windows 98.

Maybe it's just a matter of which has the most update drivers.
Matrox - 1999 or so
Nvidia - 2003!

Also, I could do some googling and what not, but I'm kinda busy right now, so if you happen to know....

Thanks...

Well, both cards are pretty lacklustre performers by today's standards, but if I was forced to choose, I'd go with the TNT2. At least it's supported by the Nvidia drivers in Linux , and I'm sure it'll be fine for 2D work and older games in Win 98 as well.
Just don't expect too much!
