Hi,
I have a Matrox Millennium 576-05 Rev. B (Compaq OEM version) that I have no use for and so would like to give it to someone versus the trash can. It has been tested.
ebay etc is too much of a hassle. There is no RAM extension attached, so it is the base 2MB model
If you have any questions, please ask. I live in the UK so no idea what shipping might be like to another country. Otherwise, it is free

Received now (had it sitting for some weeks at my friend's in the UK, so first at me now) 😀
As dfraser wrote - it's the 2 Meg version. Didn't work at first - but that was the switch "#2" that was set to "VGA DISABLE" .. Actually, first I thought it was "V-BIOS rot" as it worked in Windows GUI, but not in text mode. It seems that that particular issue didn't hit until the G-series cards though.
But running perfectly now, so thanks a lot! 😀 And it's an "R3" where the one I already had, was an "R2". No idea of the difference, though 🤣
If it's dual it's kind of cool ... 😎
