Just got back from the mall here in Monroe, LA.
They had one for $9.99. Seems like a good price for that card.
Other Babbage's might have some similar deals.

My daughter has an "original" Barbie PC that she won in a sweepstakes. :)

Would this card work in it? ?

I had two of these cards: 1 PCI and 1 AGP - both gave nothing but trouble mainly (but not entirely) due to ATI's cruddy drivers. Both developed a shimmer. I would not touch the PCI one if it was free, but I might give a buck for the AGP one.

If it's the compact silver one with the pink handle, (now known as the "burbie" pc), then no.

The burbie doesn't have any AGP, PCI or ISA slots.

Heya Mday.

Fordlorider: I'll probably go back by the mall saturday, if they still have it I'll get it and get back with you.

I don't remember if it was AGP or PCI though.

I've never had an ATI card work for a second display. I've heard the same from others. But for $10, give it a shot. :)

Well I can do 20 for an AGP, 15 for a PCI card. GL on your searches Semper, if it has a TV tuner and it's PCI, get me 2 please :).

I got an old Matrox Millenium to work dual monitor, if that works, then I dunno how a newer ati card wouldn't work.

This card would even be fine for a primary display - provided you don't play ANY 3D games.
For 2D, it's good and crisp up to a decent res. It's no Matrox and RAMDAC is a little slow for 1600x1200 folks. RAM is a bit low for that res too. But 1024x768 workstations, it'll SHINE.
