Wow. I didn't know that there existed multi-chip Savage cards. Is this purely for dual monitor stuff or can it actually be used to run games faster (like SLI or what rage pro maxx did)?

No, just for dual monitor. Colorgraphic had made quite a few dual monitor cards with single output chips, such as CL5480 and Permedia2.

IIRC, Appian did that too - they had multi-chip Permedias, Trios, Matrox G100/G200, TNT2, and I think a few others. AFAIK, pretty much all of these multi-chip/multi-display cards evaporated pretty quickly after the G400 came out and was followed by multi-head cards from nVidia and ATI (and then onboard Intel stuff sprouted it too).

AFAIK only dual monitor... sadly not dual performance... 🙁

^^ Just had to google that too... Apparently they also made a QUAD Savage 4 version. Madness!
Does it appear as multiple separate video cards to the system?

Matrox themselves did that, too, since G100 MMS and G200 MMS.
The difference is Matrox can make video chips!

What I got today from eBay:

A Commodore 64 with the original PSU, box, and reset button mod.

This is a post on what I didn't end up buying. Shipping prices to Canada are just....stupid.

Lame. That is because it is UPS.

Just checked USPS and although still expensive compared to US to US shipping, it would cost around $15.50 US to ship that.. maybe less.

Everything shipping out of the US is airmail, but RAM that can ship in a padded envelope should be pretty cheap to ship. Oddly enough it would be cheaper to get the same product shipped from China.

Hm yeah it seems like they removed them for some reason, I wasn't aware of this, sorry

China mass-subsidizes its postal system, sometimes even resulting in actual shipping charges equal to zero.

Received this ULTIMATE EGA PLUS card today:

I have to say, it's a really nice and speedy card , I was surprised TBH. The maker of the main IC is unknown to me and I was thinking it was just a clone IC.
The jumper settings are the same as the JUKO Ultimate EGA, no idea wha the "PLUS" added: http://th99.classic-computing.de/src/v/I-L/50064.htm

Considering buying this lot simply because the VGA looks interesting, but can anyone ID what it is?
