Are there any significant advantages that the Matrox P650 or P750
has over the Matrox G450 32 meg video cards?

In a word, no! At least not in my experience. In the process of
upgrading my main computer, I bought a P650 to replace a G450 that I
needed keep in the old motherboard I moved to my second system.

I do a lot of graphics editing and haven't seen one iota of difference
in performance between the 450 and the 650. The 650 will enable me to
feed an LCD monitor through the digital connector if I ever decide to
get one, but that's the only real plus I can think of except the fact
that support for the 650 will probably last longer.

Doesn't the P750 support 10 bits per pixel in Photoshop like the
Parhelia does? Getting 1024 shades of grey or green instead of 256 is a
significant difference.

Thanks Gents

I will have to look into the 10 bit per pixel gray scale depth, I am doing a
good bit of B&W and being able to broaden the pallet would be excellent.
