One word of warning about the matrox boards - If the milleniums are
millenium II boards and if the mystique is a mystique 220 (also known
as a mystique "business"), then you won't be able to use just the
straight bo packages for X, and will need to do a bit of finagling.
(Debian 1.3.1 comes with Xfree 3.3, and these cards only work with
Xfree 3.3.1) On the other hand, I use a Mystique 220 on my bo machine
just fine, and have posted instructions to the list detailing exactly
how I made my machine work. (If asked, I could dig them up - they're
around here somewhere).
I also think that the millenium boards are generally overpriced.
