    Default Can anyone tell what this PCI card is/does?

    Well my dads old workplace closed down like last year and last week what remains of it invited him for a free for all on the company's old pcs. So my dad got a ton of including this thing.
    i cant honestly tell what it is. its not a graphics card i don't think; I've never seen this type of connector before.

    Sorry for the crappy pix, i only have my webcam with me. The largest chip says
    PLX technologies
    PCI16150-BA66PC
    A0528 (Greek letter alpha)
    VJ5991 1 TAIWAN

    The name Matrox is found on the outside too.

    Its not the card GAS MASK linked to.

    It's simply a work station graphics card, not meant to accelerate games.
    RIP Calvin, you won't be forgotten.
