I am open to _any_ kind of diagnostic utility or procedure
that would help me verify that the hardware is in order, for 
ranging from memory (cf memtest86), to thermal control.

the cards are almost high end. they are valuable to me
because of the linux drivers (matrox support is rather
poor these days) and each has two DVI ports.  most of 
my work is mundane compared to the capabilities of the 
card and my use does not really tax the cards.  glxinfo 
and glxgears run fine.  i am a bit dissapointed in the
speed of basic windowing.  i thought that these 128mb 
cards would allow seamless dragging and resizing of 
windows, but repainting is generally noticeable.

Thanks in advance for any tips.
