Yes, Roger has a very good point, and experience has taught me the hard way. Follow the system recommendations from Matrox if you want to run smoothly. Otherwise... you'll get extremely frustrated at the odd behaviors you'll encounter. Mind you, this is not exclusive to Adobe and Matrox, you'll find strict requirements with Avid too!
You can check Matrox's web site for places to buy the card. There will surely be an authorized Matrox reseller that will sell you the card in your area. You can even ask him to check on your computer to make sure your system meets the necessary requirements.
Keep in mind that if you shoot 24pA, you won't be able to take advantage of the Matrox accellerated features (it only supports 60i... and 30p) You might be able to edit 24pN, but then you"ll break the pulldown cadance it you ever need to create a 24p DVD or go to film. If you edit 24p, you"ll need to edit those software only with Premiere Pro 1.5.
