[AG-TECH] Display Boards

Fri Feb 11 11:19:40 CST 2005

I seem to remember that the Matrox QID card was
going to be released in AGP and PCI-Express forms; our
AGP versions are working fine, driving a console and
three projectors, all at 1280x1024 (into 1024x768 projectors!).

Cheers

Chris

The current line of Dell computers no longer support AGP slots, at least not the dual processor computers. Industry seems to be moving to PCI-Express. Does anyone have any experience with Display boards for an AG node that run in a PCI-X or PCI-Express slot? Matrox has announced a new Parhelia(tm) APVe, PCI Express graphics card, but it wont be available until the end of March at  the soonest.
