Matrox Orion PC Compatibility List

December 17, 2002

This list identifies the platforms (systems and motherboards) certified by Matrox Imaging to be compatible with Matrox Orion. Compatibility is defined as the general ability of Matrox Orion to properly function on the specified platform when using MIL/MIL-Lite 6.0 x or higher. It does not necessarily take into account interaction with other expansion peripherals. Therefore, customers should perform testing based on their applications' specific needs. Compatibility is not limited to the platforms listed below. Other platforms with similar characteristics may also be compatible. Please contact Matrox Imaging Technical Support for details on compatibility with specific platforms.
