This seems to indicate it is a Texas Instruments product

I dug out an old matrox card in my parts drawer that had similar numbers on it and it's a Matrox Millenium II 8 mgb, just as hal says.
Doh, should of read ALL the replies before replying myself. * 3 demerits for not being fully informed*

The MGA-2164 is the main video chip, which is indeed a Matrox Millenium II.
The TI chip is the RAMDAC - digital/analog converter. Those were outstanding video cards in their day - very fast. Not good gaming cards because they don't speak 3D, but I still have customers using them for CAD. |

That card is a very good match to the rest of the system.

Just wondering
I now no one reads this posting by now, but i still thought i would try to find out here, if on the video card it says 64 bit or meg why is it coming up in the device propertis as a 4 or 8, i'm not sure what my matrox graphics millenium II PCI 2164 card really is, if anyone knows let me know, i got a onboard 32 mb and i was hoping the card was a 64 mb........anyone know?

64 Bit is just the memory interface. It actually only had 4 or 8 megabytes of video memory.

You should start your own post instead of bring up dead ones.
But Razor is correct, 64 bit is the interface, not the amount of RAM.

Thanks for searching the forums before posting RedBurner, not enough people do IMO
And I don't think it was so bad posting in this thread, but it is preferable to start your own thread simply so that you can give it a more applicable title and first post for those of us who scan the new posts |
