It is a PCI card form factor. The epson chip does NOT have a PCI interface on board, so a PCI bridge chip is there to support PCI operation -- In short, if you want to use PCI, it is available by activating it with a DIP switch. I did use it, and it works.

We would like to use it with two purposes. One is to display
browser(Opera, Mozilla, Firefox or what it is)and second one is to play films encoded by mpeg. AFAIK, this card is framebuffer style. It has some 2D acceleration mainly for blitting operations. I think films are not drawing thing. Color space conversion, scaling are discussed. But others are drawing thing.Do you think this card is enought for them?
I believe the card is enough for browser operation, yes. I am not sure about playing video beacuse I have not performance-checked it , and as you pointed out, it is unaccelerated. It should be able to display whatever you throw at it though, so if you can do the MPEG decoding completely in software on the MPC side, you should be fine.
Do you work at Turk Telecom or are you just a customer ? What is your project, if I may ask ?
