I know. I got one of those. Interestingly, the G550s sell still
for about 100EUR, which is IMHO way overpriced for a 10a old card.
You get a in nearly every way superior card for the same money.
IMHO the only reason to buy a G550 these day is, if you want to
watch video on a big CRT. But how many people still have a CRT?

Also the number of users of mga_vid decreased considerably in the
last few years. It wouldnt surprise me if there were less than
100 users of it left.

BTW: Do you still use mga_vid or did you switch to a different
card as well?
