matrox cards on ebay

Just wondering if anyone has bought a matrox card off ebay that was an ex IBM/Compaq unit.

Do these cards work with the Matrox drivers at the matrox website?

Any info appreciated,

Yes, the drivers should be the same from the Matrox website. I suggest you make sure that the seller has good ratings and has a substantial number of items sold.

I have bought several Matrox quad cards via eBay. I have always avoided any cards made by Matrox for other vendors. I have seen many of these cards that were made for Compaq that the eBay ad stipulated that the driver could be obtained from Compaq. For me, I do not need to know any more as I have had some very bad experiences buying proprietary computer parts. I recently bought a new in the box Fujitsu magneto optical drive via eBay that was made for IBM. I have been unable to get the drive to work with Windows and have given up.
 
I asked Tech Support about Matrox cards for 3rd parties (HP, Compaq, IBM) and was told that they are identical to the Matrox branded ones.
