Wow, I'm just amazed at the price for a new video card that supports the aging AGP slot.

I advise you check with your motherboard and chipset and vidocard Customer support before making an expensive purchase like this. Which I didn't, because, according to the described specifications it should work but doesn't. Also ATI customer support said it should work, and suggested endless tweaks to the bios all of which were not helpful. I have had to return this item to Amazon because it was incompatible with my system (a dual Athlon MP board from Tyan.) I am now using a Matrox Parhelia which, although it didn't get the glowing reviews that Quadro boards get, is working well on a dual monitor setup.(unlike my PNY Quadreo board, which lost first one port and then another after only 3 months of use) In all fairness, this may be a terrific board in the proper setup.
