Notes
The Millennium offered excellent Windows 2D performance, but poor 3D performance and lacked some key 3D features like Mip-Mapping (this was corrected in the Millennium II that followed in 1996). In DOS, its 2D performance wasn't great, so looking at it today, Millennium doesn't make a good choice for retro DOS gaming but if you're more into Windows games released from 1995-1996, it would be a pretty solid choice and the image clarity for 2D is second to none.
