This now makes total sense. I was curious as to why it would only have
a VGA out. It wasn't an issue b/c the monitor I'm hooking it into is
an old 19" Trinitron (mounted in portrait orientation for a MAME
cabinet), so all I needed was VGA.

I had a feeling it was mac-specific... every time I did a search on
the part number, it always returned as a Mac part.

So does anyone have experience using this card in anything other than
the Xserve? Also, if it's not working, should I try going through the
procedure that people use to force-flash ATI Radeon cards for the PC
to try and bring it up to spec? I have an old junker PC that I'm sure
would be up to the task but I'm unsure if you can use that method if
it technically has already already been used in a Mac (namely the
Xserve).

Thanks!
