Using an old Matrox G450 PCI video card in a Gigabyte GA-K8NS Ultra 939 mobo
will cause it not to post

Using an NVidia GEForce 5500 dual head in an old ASUS A7V mobo (which works
great with Paris and the old Matrox G450 video cards) will be incredibly
unstable, eventually causing the system to boot repeatedly to safe mode.
Also, this video card/chipset/driver combination does not like the EDS
driver and will cause error messages stating that the master card is not
connected to the MEC.

paris rig.
Wanna get rid of your PCI Matrox?
