Hardy har har.

There would be a big difference between a PCI Matrox (say, a G200 at
best I bet, although eventually PCI 400s and 450s came out) and a
FireGL1000Pro. 

FYI, 1.2 also ran nicely on a dual PPro with FireGL3000, and on a dual
P3 xeon with a wildcat 4000.

3.0 also runs nicely on that machine.  Haven't used anything newer.  2.x
sucked so much.  I couldn't believe anyone would want to use it.
