Other collection I have been doing besides Dino's

[Tylosaurus]

Well today my Matrox Parhelia AGP 256MB DDR arrived from Korea

so here it is:


Here two very interesting feature connectors which i think is used to connect to a Parhelia PCI-X 256MB so you can run 4 to 6 monitors at once:


Here compared with the Matrox Parhelia AGP x4 128MB DDR card:



So yeah as you can see, the 256 MB model has alot od seeable differences, even the rear views show that a newer revision of the GPU was used, the 256MB variant has alot less capacitors under the GPU, also some chips were reoved and replaced with improved ones and that the 128 variant lacks them feature connectors to connect a PCI-X card for more monitors.

So yeah for EUR 30,51 incl freeshipping this is a master piece for any various branded VGA collector and a must have as well. 8)

So here it is in the test system:
