Is this some new designer drug? :-)

If you actually mean is anyone using an AGP video card on OS/2 then the answer
is yes (or has been in the past, nowadays my two OS/2 systems are PCiE).

I'm still using Matrox 450 AGP cards. What video cards (and
motherboards) are you using?

I have two Intel D975XBX2 'Badaxe2' motherboards and both use ATI X300SE PCiE
cards with SNAP 3.1.8. Only problem I have found is that once per boot, usually
fairly early on, one of the windows you pick up and move decides not to repaint
until it's covered over and re-exposed. It's a minor niggle and doesn't really
affect anything. One of the boards has a Core2Duo E6420 and the other has a Xeon
3220 (Core2Quad Q6600 in disguise).

same card as you, Matrox G450 on the OS/2 machine and eVGA e-geforce4 MX
420 on the win98se machine. I recently picked up a Geforce 7300 GT. I
thought I was having a video card problem as I was having intermittent
display problems (display getting futzed up, images looking like 16bit
images, other times display goes gray, sometimes the text was barely
readable, I'm begging to wonder if this was related to the surge
protectors going bad). Currently, the monitor is behaving itself) But
both of my mobos are old, PIII-1G & P2-350M based cpus.

some of the AGP mobos for the latest current cpus seem hard to find.

I'm looking at the Asrock mobos for the 775 & AM2 & 939 sockets. it has
at least 1 AGP, 1 PCI-e and 4 PCI. odd thing tho is that the 775 & AM2
boards have PCI-e at 4x speed whereas the 939 boards have the pci-e at
full power.

I'm looking for other alternates to match that or better.
