bandwidth problems when grabbing up to two full-sized color images
simultaneously (using two boards). However, grabbing more than two full-sized

Grabbing from two Matrox Meteor-II boards
As a reference point, grabbing one 640 x 480 image in real time will require a PCI
bandwidth of 35 Mbytes/sec when transferring in RGBX (32-bit) mode.
When grabbing from three or more Matrox Meteor-II boards simultaneously, you
will have to reduce the image size to avoid reaching the upper limits of the overall
available bandwidth.
