i do, but that price is asinine. even with overdrives.
It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

Take a look at my hardware giveaway thread here at Vogons. I cover shipping and I am not selling or trading and everything I ship is as-is. I am only interested in saving this stuff from the recycle center and putting history back into circulation.
My giveaway thread will be active again shortly as I am clearing out the rest of my collection to concentrate on just a few projects. Spread too thin lately.

I love the case.

Heh, I think it's about 3/4 the list price of 1 overdrive new.... fffheck knows what someone threw down for the whole caboodle back in the day, $5000 maybe.

So if you want the cooler just PM me a U.S. shipping address.

That a nice selection of cards right their at very good prices.
The 6800 is not a bad card it runs 256mbit memory, the version I had was equipped with 128meg of ram and was able to unlock the extra vertex shaders and pixel pipes to make it effectively a 6800gt with slower ram at half the size 😐 .
What else can you find out it looks like the specs varied alot with 6800xt cards some running 256meg at DDR3.
wrote:I was surprised to find the 5950 Ultra was not much faster than my non-Ultra 5900. Maybe my 2x AGP port holding it back?
No, but I'll bet my left kidney the CPU you're using on an AGP 2x motherboard is.
wrote:Tried it with this machine in original Max Payne (2001) in D3D Hardware and somehow it runs like crap even on mid-settings. I don't remember the performance being that poor even on a less powerful PC. Software T&L seems to be just fine on this P4.
Try a newer GPU, like a FX5500 or newer. Maybe the MX440 doesn't cut it?

IMO, looks much too "new" for PMMX. P-III at oldest. Something about the lack of hard edges, and the two-toned plastic.

Yeah. The GF2 Ultra and X800 are nice to be able to cross off the list of hard to find rare top end AGP cards I've wanted. The 9600XT is also mildly interesting because its much less common than its pro branded brother, the 9600 Pro.
BTW does anyone know where I can get the correct type of cable for S Video out to Composite on an ASUS 5950? I'm trying to use my Pentium4 to display Doctor Who on my newly acquired vintage 25" Zenith from 1999 (using the P4 machine mostly because it's convienently located). I don't understand why the GPU makers decided every other generation needed a new S Video connector. ATI is the worst, I've seen 3,4,5,8 and 9 pin S Video designs from them in various stages of compatible and not compatible with standard S video.

Ebay.
Keep in mind it will look like crap most likely. S-video on alot of cards where not the best as with s-video the output is filtered on the card and the TV. and most cards even top end cards used junk setups for s-video.
You far better off with a TV with VGA or a old AIW card.

Looks like someone might have removed some heatsinks there - would explain the crap performance if those transistors overheat...
No, these are SMD transistors and have no heatsinks. What you see there is just soldering flux. Apparently, there were once larger transistors installed which got replaced.

I have seen this before, I think flux is added to the board during production automatically, but in the end the components were smaller and the flux remains there.
