Also, I grabbed this PCChips M810LMR. It was ~$11, and it’s probably not worth that; I do have to say that it’s pretty nice for what it is. It’s slower than my KT7A and AMD760-based GA-7DX, but still not that bad. It came with the original manual, disk, and AMR card. The SiS730 itself really isn’t …

The Voodoo 3 2000 Arrived from Kiev Ukraine today and I cant help but hope that the person I bought it from is ok, I have bought a number of items from them the last few months and they have always been really great with their communication with me. I have an Intel D850MV and an Asus TUSL2-C on the …

Another ebay purchase, a Quadro FX3000 256MB, which I believe is equivalent to an FX5900. My 5900XT has developed a weird fault where it complains of lack of power with any power supply and motherboard so I wanted something at least as good to replace it and got this. The fan is a bit annoying …

Got today a "Soyo SY-5VD" AT Socket 7 board (with a P-166 MX) for my 1997 Retro-PC "project in progress" ... and the Audigy 2 came with the board for free :-) Any Idea what the fastest CPU is that this board will run? Soyo_Socket7.jpg SY-5VD.jpg Looks like a 430VX board so I'd say a K6-2 at 400mhz …

It sure looks like a 5900 ultra. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce … 5900-ultra.c704 I think the quadrant version of that pcb has a black connector in the top left, you can see where it would be on your board but the component isn’t there.

Nearly 200,- CAD??? OMG, I wouldn't pay more then 10,- EUR for a board like this, espacially w/o original packaging and all the other stuff which came with it originally. I own some (dozens?) of these - mostly just the boards w/o additions, unfortunately - don't know exactly, because I own ~150 …

More goodies, this plastic box said laptop ram ddr2 so I assumed that's what it was but it was actually a bunch of processors wrapped in bubble wrap. There's several Core 2 duo's, Pentium 4's and Athlon 64 processors! Most notable are an E8400 and a socket 478 P4 3.2.

Here's the rest of the stuff. The Aptiva is a Slot 1 P3-800 and it had a Radeon 9000 Pro 128MB graphics card. So that's neat and I'll definitely get some use out of that card. There was also a nice 256MB PC133 CL2 module in there! Also got a box of random speakers, cords, old power supplies, etc. …
