Kernel (uname -r): 2.6.9
Distribution: Slackware 10.0



The price is 0 since I got it from a friend.

I have not tested it to the limits but it seems to work with everything. Since the card is pretty old it's not that fast but I cannot blame Linux for that.

It's easy to install slackware and debian with the card, that's the two dists I have tried so far.

The only problem is that lm_sensors is asking for a module called i2c_matroxfb which I cannot find in the kernel.

Works just fine, but my model has 8MB RAM I believe.
