Matrox Graphics released the world's first PCI Express 1x Graphic card. This VGA will be intended for systems that lack the normal PCIe 16x ( such as servers and other business solutions ).
Some Specs Which are known and a picture:
For those of you who don't know the Matrox G550 is a design which was created in about 2001 (also showed at the E3 of that year) and it was also primarly intened as a Business Solution. It was based on AGP 4x with just 32mb.
So what's the question? Well is this VGA newly designed to be PCIe or did Matrox just bridge it from AGP to PCIe?? Well this is still unkown for now because no information has yet been released.
Here some informartion about the release date and pricing.
