Matrox G450 (mvta32dbi)

hi,

i need some information about this graphics card:

1) how much is it worth nowadays
2) if i don't have the original cable-set, can i make it work with my ATi AIW replicator cables (are the s-video in/out ports of these cards compatible with each other)
3) is this card full featured and compatible with Win XP pro
4) is it aka matrox marvel eTV (just to be sure)
5) am i right if i say that it's dual head
6) are there any possibilities connecting 2 CRT's with it

that's all for the moment

thanks for your consideration,

buuha

If it has an S-video connection, it is a Marvel eTV.
They still sell new for $230(us) from shopmatrox.com, but I doubt you'll find many ppl who think they are worth that much.
While it does have some DualHead features, connecting to two CRTs is not possible with that card. One CRT, one TV.
The breakout cables for it can be ordered from shopmatrox.com pretty cheaply.
And it does have drivers and video tools available for it with XP.

my AIW rage 128 also came with s-video cables. does anyone has some information if i can transfer my analog signal through these cables with matrox G450 eTV. are the s-video plug pins layout the same with these cards?

tnx
