For some reviews, comparisons and discussion regarding Matrox Parhelia follow this link http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/06/25/1317222 . Regarding the availability of linux drivers check the Matrox plan at http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,3973,182491,00.asp . Regarding the ATI Radeon 8500 I'm sure you're already aware of the Wheather Channel sponsoring the development of DRI drivers: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/06/09/0236221 . The choice [as always] depends entirely on which factors you value the most. I hope this helps.
