Matrox G450

I have an ASUS P4PE MB with 6 PCI slots.

Looking to upgrade the video card to Matrox G450
for a quad monitor set up. On the Matrox website, it
says the G450 is designed for "half length PCI".

Will the video card work with the ASUS montherboard
I purchased few years ago?

Thanks
 
Greddy,

According to the following website, your motherboard supports six 32-bit PCI bus slots.

According to the G450 datasheet, the graphics card requires a 32-bit PCI slot which your motherboard supports. See the following link:

The half-length size of the G450 refers to the length of the card, but the PCI connector is still the same. The half-length card allows more space for internal components and fits in smaller systems. See the Matrox datasheet for a comparison between the half-length and full-length cards. Note that the PCI connector is still the same. I think the G450 should work in your system based on your motherboard. Good luck!
