 Not much. I've done a comparison G400 32MB (with digital
daughterborad) vs 9250 (128MB) in both analog and digital mode at
1280x1024x16M on the same machine using a Sony SDM-X75 display. Some
figures (Sysbench) are better here and there and the other way round.
No reason to switch for performance reasons. If I can find those files
I might attach them here, if anyone is curious.

 However, if you need a *new* card - you can buy only a new 9250
(Matrox' G400/G450 is hardly offered *unused* these days). Second, if
you need digital output at resolutions >1280x1024 then a 9250 is the
ONLY solution available for OS/2.
