Can you identify this PB Card?

This is part of an auction I'm bidding on, but there is no info included in the auction, just this card in the picture:

My guess - VRAM upgrade for a video card.

Maybe a Diamond Stealth or something of similar vintage.

Definitely a RAM card, not sure what for.

My PB 190cs uses a similar one, but with only a single connector.

As MOS8_30 already did guess this is a VRAM upgrade for the ATI Mach64 that Apple shipped with some PowerMacs.

you guys got it, thanks.  it was listed with a bunch of PB stuff so i assumed it was related.

with the tip you gave me, i found a description of a similar card on ebay which matched my photo (note this is not the auction i'm bidding on):

Ah ha! I knew I'd seen that card somewhere before, but it's been a long time ago. 😉
