Nick,
The card pictured is not an NLX card because it does not have a short and wide mounting bracket. The following URL shows a photo of a card with an NLX mounting bracket: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Matrox-G400-16...QQcmdZViewItem The ebay item is: Matrox G400 16MB AGP NLX Video Card 37L2398 Item number: 8765966123 ....

Nick,
Yes, if you can get your hands on an NLX bracket, the Elsa card was designed to be used either way, as a normal card (pictured) or NLX. Switching brackets is easy. I have done it quite a few times...

Nick,
If the opening for the video connector lines up perfectly, you can swap them. As a rule, I have only swapped brackets between cards of the same brand. But it's possible that Compaq, IBM, and Gateway (three major users of NLX graphics cards) insisted on standardization of the opening. The card on eBay is priced attractively, so it may be worth a try...
