I second Callandor's comments. I have the same exact Matrox card, and it will not work in a PCI Express board.<br />
<br />
I've seen low-end PCI-E video cards for as low as US$37. These are the &quot;Turbo Cache&quot; cards that have 64 MB of video memory and use system memory if necessary. The 64 MB on these cards will be more than the memory on the Matrox. They'll also support dual monitors, though if you're running two analog VGA monitors, you'll need a DVI to VGA adapter ($5 - $10).

Hello,<br />
<br />
I have a Matrox Millennium G450 DualHead graphics card which I want to use with a new motherboard. It is currently in a Pentium III PC, location listed (by Device Manager) as PCI bus 1, device 0, function 0. It is in the larger (brown) rather than white PCI slot.<br />
<br />
The Intel literature for the new motherboard, D945PVS (with Pentuim 4) cautions against using an AGP graphics card, rather I should use a PIC Express x16 card. <br />
<br />
Matrox site says 2 models: - How do I tell which I have? Does the Matrox Millennium G450 DualHead qualify as a PIC Express x16 card. Can it be used?<br />
<br />
(1) AGP 4X interface, compatible with all AGP slots (1x, 2x, 4x and 8x) <br />
<br />
(2) 32-bit/33 MHz PCI interface (compatible with all PCI and PCI-X slots) <br />
<br />
Thanks for your help, Jim

Matrox Millennium G450 DualHead as PCI card

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.

Components

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

A monitor or a display is an electronic visual display for computers, usually comprised of the display device, circuitry, casing, and power supply. The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) thin panel, while older monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT) about as deep as the screen size. They are connected to the computer via VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, LVDS or other proprietary connectors and signals.
