Hi!
Why not use GeForceIII or other such card? I heard somewhere that Matrox is slowly losing in competition and performance as well. I use a RivaTNT2 card and it has good performance, but I don't think it will satisfy the need for very high end graphics that you are looking for. Also, why are you going in for a branded PC? Try assembling your own PC. Its fun to build them and its very cheap as compared to branded ones. Also, try going in for a very good Motherboard too. FSB matters a lot. I would personally recommend an ASUS board. I myself use this board. A real performer.
Alternatively, since you are putting in so much money, why not put some more and go for an SGI (Silicon Graphics) workstation? It rocks!
Regards, Shailesh.
