Yes. The 175Mhz version is an OEM package that was sold to various system builders, including Gateway. I have one of these cards in my PC right now -- it's homebuilt, but the card was pulled from my wife's machine, which was built by a national store chain called MicroCenter. > What is 'wrong' with the budget version - is there some software that > won't run on it. Nope. Just the RAMDAC. If you're not particularly interested in resolutions better than 1152x864x16bpp, then it works great. I haven't tested it as resolutions higher than that. Rick R.
