??? It looks AGP but what the hell is that output? Looks too big to be DVI...definetly bigger than VGA

I'm gonna call it "Shoulda been drug out into the woods and shot a long time ago"

thanks, i looked at that link and it looks to me like the riser that the monitor plugs into is missing, correct? would i need some sort of adapter?

Yeah, "G55" screams Matrox.

However, what is the deal with the output? Is it ADB or just a really fuzzy DVI?

As you can see, the rear of the card doesn't sport a standard 15-pin VGA port but rather a neat 60-pin port for attaching the included analog Y-Adapter.

Could be that.
