System config for all tests

The First question I know will be asked is "Why use different driver versions for the tests?"  The answer is simple, I wanted to run the tests with the newest available driver from Matrox for the specific card. For the Marvel and Rainbow runner cards the newest driver is v5.41 and the Millennium series card is v5.52.

As you can see in the benchmarks, the v5.52 drivers are slightly lower performance compared to the v5.41 drivers when I ran them both on the G400MAX card.

The reason for the marvel cards to lag behind the other Matrox cards is because they have a typically lower RAMDAC, and smaller ram sizes of the other cards in their G series. As you can see all the G400 cards are within 5 points of each other, so even though the hardware is a bit different they all have the same great 2D Performance.
