Is anyone using one of these in a Slot A Athlon motherboard? I'm thinking of picking up a Slot A Athlon 650 system from a friend and want to know if this card will work with it first.

@cant1rac matrox was very cpu scalable and was limited by the cpu's of the day.
its video playback gaming quality, 2d quality and video playback (ati as well).
had a tnt2 then a geforce 2 and cursed them.
do anything other than play a 32bit color game it had nothing to offer, try playing flash video file, a quick time video, you realised it was only a one trick pony, image quality lack of shadows detail and pastel tint colors annoyed as well, despite offering high resolution
-
@cant1rac the processors of the day were averaging between 300mhz and 550mhz on the average home pc, so the nvidia did post better numbers, and at the time there was some question over how much the nvidia driver had been tailored to specifically give better number in a few well known tests rather than real life performance.
but generally the numbers hold up, scaling above 750mhz, i find most of the competition start to come up to or better nvidia's in game performance.

this and my voodoo 5500 are my 2 favourite cards from the windows 98 dos based gaming era.
both cards legendary and the best hardware to come out, sadly they got hammerd by the (religious?) reviews of geforce nvidia, who's overall performance i find poorer, espesically video playback.
i thought matrox was better, but you needed a good cpu or fps would drop because they were more cpu dependant.
but by the time you scaled up to 1ghz cpu i felt the matrox 450, ati maxx & 3dfx 5500, performed better

@vorkev1 i've been a looking for a good 4 years for a back up card, cause i love my rage fury maxx, dvd play back is the best you'll get on a 98se machine.
but ive not seen any, for a number of reasons
1. sold badly, was expensive competeing with a faster performing 3dfx 5500 that supported windows 2000, and the new geforce that had t&l, that were far more competively priced.
2. the poor drivers and chipset support, there are alot scrapped and left for dead when infact they are still working
-
@vorkev1 main problem was incompatablity with a substansial number of chipsets, and i find it works best on a bx format board, drivers were tempramental as well.
some agp sockets just dont like it as well, even though listed as compatable, after my old bx intel board died, i gave it up for dead, 6 boards till i found one it worked on.
got 2d fine installed windows 98se, then rebooting after installing the drivers, no screen and could only get a display in safe mode, 6th board (a bx) worked fine
okay
-i tested the card in a gigabyte K7 board with via KT400, it was not worked (w98, me).
-i checked the card in some unknown via chipet with socket 7 with a pentium 1, it was not worked (w98, me)
-it was not worked in k7s5a with SiS 735 chipset (w98, me)
I dont remember to other boards, i tested in a few, it was only worked me in motherboards with BX chipset. I dont know my fury maxx's version but its maybee a very first one becouse it has no jumper to disable the secondary graphics core.

Hi. It not works in all motherboard. Only 1/5 of them. I was able to run it sucesfully in a Gigabyte 6bxd, so motherboards with BX chipset may mostly work. I tested it with a few VIA and SiS chipset motherboards too, but none of them worked.

its not possible to write correct drivers becouse of the shittyness of 2k based kernels agp enumeration.
