Matrox Graphics Card – User Guide 3
2 Choose an expansion slot
Most computers have different types of
expansion slots. Choose an AGP, PCI, or PCI
Express (PCIe) slot, depending on the type
of Matrox card you have. If you have a PCI
card, your card supports both 64-bit and
32-bit PCI slots. Your system manual should
identify the location of each type of
expansion slot in your computer.

Note: If you’re using a PCI graphics card in a PCI-X compatible slot, your choice of PCI
slot may affect your card or system performance. For more information, see your computer
manual.
WA R N I NG : Inserting your Matrox card
into the wrong type of slot could damage
your card, your computer, or both.
If you have a PCI card and the versions
(32- or 64-bit) of your card and PCI
expansion slot are different, only part of
the card’s edge connector (the part closest
to the bracket) or expansion slot (the part
closest to the back of the computer)
should be used.
