Also anyone got any information on this card? I think its from about 1997 and I had it in a 266 p2 with 64mb pc66. I remember playing jk2 and quake 2 on it.

I was only young but i think it coped pretty well with them games

The usual almost completely useless VESA feature connector. It just looks special here because they gave it a plastic shell.

I believe that card uses 3DLabs Permedia 2. It's probably around the speed of a Voodoo1. It wasn't really a gaming chip and was meant as a low cost CAD chip.
