Actually, they also have a G450 PCI model, which should easilly get you resolutions of 1600x1200, with excellent 2D quality. It'll even get you just a little bit in the way of 3D performance. I believe they're available in dual-head models, which would easilly allow you the option of connecting two monitors for an even larger desktop. (The G200's meanwhile are configurable in a quad-monitor setup, if you really want be insane about it. :) ).
I've generally been very satisfied with Matrox's driver support. They've contributed alot of the driver source into the GPL arena, with only a few optional features being held back to an additional closed module.
