It looks fine to me:

rainbow@pentium:~$ cat /proc/mtrr
reg01: base=0x000c0000 (   0MB), size= 256KB: uncachable, count=1
reg02: base=0xe1000000 (3600MB), size=   4MB: write-combining, count=2
reg07: base=0x00000000 (   0MB), size= 128MB: write-back, count=1

The machine has 128MB memory, there's 4MB Matrox Mystique card:

00:14.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA 1064SG 
[Mystique] (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
        Subsystem: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA-1084SG Mystique
        Flags: bus master, stepping, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 6
        Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Memory at e1000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=8M]
        Memory at e2000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8M]
        Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=64K]
