    Could this be of use to anyone? I would send this out
    preferably within my Canada.

    Indeed it does. I supposed no one is interested in those
    anymore?

    Actually to make it extra confusing it says, AGPx8 and PCI version... so not sure about that one. In some ways a PCI card has more possible uses even though its going to be slower.. AGP was basically a repurposed PCI but
    shorter lived. You'd just have to wait for the right person to need it, I'm sure you could flog it on flea bay.

    My understing is that the card is "powered by ATI AGP 8x Radeon
    9250 VPU", and compatible over a PCI bus.

    I don't remember the exact scenario and which pc I was
    procuring for that inspired me to get that card. Perhaps this
    card seemed to be the best match for an existing pc, or I think
    I was planning to build another pc from scratch or something.

    Perhaps the plan was to use it with this mobo that I haven't
    used either:
