Maybe but it doesn't matter because they're not using it directly. The card was AGP/PCI while MXM on the laptop is PCIe, so they had to create an adapter including a AGP/PCI-to-PCIe bridge. In this case, they shoved this graphics card with its adapter into a Dell Precision M4800 released in 2013 because they needed to run Windows XP. They also created another PCB as a PCIe 1x adapter to run it on desktops.
The card was probably intended to work with a specific model of gaming or workstation laptop from 2000 but it's doubtful any made it past the prototype stage. Maybe Dell or Acer sold one or two models of it.
(My Voodoo2's are jealous BTW.)
- mjg59 2y agoI think you're confused - this is a from-scratch new design, not an old prototype. There's no adapter other than the desktop mount, the VSA-100 is directly mounted to the board that plugs into the laptop.
