Any motherboard with PCI Express 2.0 (Generation 2) slots	N/A	PCI Express 2.0 (Generation 2)	When Matrox RT.X2 LE is installed in a PCI Express 2.0 (Generation 2) slot, the motherboard shows poor overall performance and audio/video synchronization issues. We recommend installing RT.X2 LE in a PCI Express 1.1 slot. See your motherboard manual for more details.
Any motherboard with SigmaTel STA9220 or STAC9221D chip	N/A	Intel High Definition Audio codecs	The Intel High Definition Audio codecs (SigmaTel STA9220, STAC9221D) have shown black flashes and A/V synchronization problems during playback in Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0. This issue is resolved in Matrox Mx.tools 3.0 and Adobe Premiere Pro CS3.
ASUS	A8N32-SLI Deluxe	Motherboard	There is a copper heat pipe on the motherboard that prevents the Matrox RT.X2 card from being inserted into the PCI Express (x4) slot. You must therefore use the other PCI Express (x16) slot for your Matrox RT.X2 card, which means that you lose the motherboard's SLI option. There is only one internal SATA port for RAID, therefore we did not test the hardware RAID functionality.
ASUS	M3A32-MVP Deluxe/WiFi-AP	Motherboard	With Matrox RT.X2 LE, this motherboard has shown poor overall performance and audio/video synchronization issues.
Intel	D955XBK	Motherboard	The motherboard's Intel High Definition Audio codec, which uses the SigmaTel STAC9221D chip, has shown black flashes and A/V synchronization problems during playback in Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0. This issue is resolved in Matrox Mx.tools 3.0 and Adobe Premiere Pro CS3.
MSI	K9N SLI Platinum	Motherboard	With Matrox RT.X2 SD, attempting to specify the video capture settings in Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 may cause an abrupt system failure, and cause your computer to turn off.
HP	Workstation xw8200	System	Due to performance issues, the HP Workstation xw8200, IBM IntelliStation A Pro 6223, Supermicro X6DA8-G2 are not recommended with the Mx.tools 3.6 drivers.
IBM	IntelliStation A Pro 6223	System	Due to performance issues, the HP Workstation xw8200, IBM IntelliStation A Pro 6223, Supermicro X6DA8-G2 are not recommended with the Mx.tools 3.6 drivers.
Supermicro	X6DA8-G2	System	Due to performance issues, the HP Workstation xw8200, IBM IntelliStation A Pro 6223, Supermicro X6DA8-G2 are not recommended with the Mx.tools 3.6 drivers.
