How are you mounting the heatsink/fan? I have a few spare coolers (LGA775, Socket A) and was just given a DX4-100 a week ago. Not going to go insane but it would be interesting to see if it's prime stable at 120MHz. Well, that's if Prime95 runs on a 486...

It's pretty cool that the scores are pretty much the same within ~3 frames per second. Maybe video speed isn't as important here as clock speed and memory bandwidth. [Edit] That demo3 warning is normal.

However, life's a bitch, and so what would happen in reality is that the old lady in question turns in to one of those mad ebayers, selling her late husband's junk at extortionate prices, using a crappy cell/mobile phone camera to do the photos. I see we have both been viewing the same auctions... …

I emailed AMD asking if there were any technical docs that might have the pinout. It's one hell of a long shot though. [Edit] AMD Says that specs and pinout are proprietary and not available to end users. However, they're going to see what they can dig up so maybe there might be something useful …

I remember that that was the mouse port, the one the sound comes from isn't any connector I've seen. I'm not even sure how you'd figure the rest of the pins out aside from audio l/r.

Does anyone have the pinout for this card? Or what the funky connector is so I can make a cable?

Sort of related: If you had to choose between eating a pile of poo (Oak -037) or eating a dead rat (Trident 8800CS) which would you choose for DOS?

Even if it breaks at the bend, if it's already making contact bent wouldn't it be okay anyway?

It must not be that easy since mine didn't work, a moot point now but I'm interested as well.

I thought of that but it seems a bit pointless at this stage, is there a current value these are going for? (with original CD)
