OEM vs. Original: Loss in Quality??? 4 Matrox...

Looking for a video card to do A LOT of photoshop. Looking for Matrox G200, G400 or G450.
I found some G400s with only single output. Are those OEM's ? Is the famous Matrox 2D quality compromised in the OEM's?
Suggestions about G200, or move the 360 MHz RAMDAC of the G450? My budget though only likes the OEM version...
Any recommendations, suggestion? thanks
 
The G400's that come wiht a single output are simply the non-Dual head versions. Matrox makes all the cards, so I doubt that the 2D quality is compromised in the OEM versions. Get the G450 if you can afford it, but my experience with the G200 has been superb! Loved the wonderful 2D quality
 
The visual quality between the OEM and retail products are identical.
The G400/G450 has slightly better 2D visual quality then the G200... but even the G200 will edge out the best that ATi and 3dfx have managed and both are quite good with 2D.
 
I'm running a G400 single head OEM now and I can tell you that the 2D output is some the the best I've ever seen. I also do a lot of photoshop work and I've never had a problem with the image quality from this card.
