</div>Actually, one of the reason the Rage XL was used by almost every server<br>
motherboard for half a decade or more, is that is was very well supported<br>
in all OSes (Windows, Linux, Enterprise, consumer, recent, old…), and<br>
didn't require the latest gamer os or an out-of-tree driver to work. From<br>
a manufacturer POW it was a no-user-returns component.<br>
