Wanted to understand whether the Matrox G450 PCI cards available on ebay/Aliexpress abundantly are compatible on older S7/Slot 1/ S370 boards. I got a ATI Rage XL pro on ebay and it doesn't work on the older motherboards such as Asus P2B rev 1.10 and SE440BX2 due to the 3.3V only issue. Does the G450 from Ebay/Aliexpress also suffer from the same issue or is it compatible with the older 5V only PCI slots? Could someone chime in regarding their experience with these cards from China?
