|AGP First. I tried changing to PCI as the primary display, and it
worked in
|INIT 3 (I can get to prompt) although I still got the message about PCI

RDB,

(1)  1GB should be OK...  Have you tried the PCI card without the AGP
card?
(2)  OK, your being able to boot to INIT3 means that maybe the Matrox
and NVidia cards are fighting with each other to allocate resources
...  usually memory.

What does your dmesg log or bootlog tell you?
Try the output of lspci?
