So I kind of just realized the draw back with a baby AT card. It is the baby part. I had a hard time fitting a voodoo2 into my acorp 5ali61. Only way to do it without modifying the heat sink is next to the agp slot. I have a GeForce 4 Mx there (yes stupidly over kill). I really doubt this is a very good solution with regards to cooling the GeForce 4. Don't think I want to run anything demanding on that card now..

Maybe I'll have to modify the heat sink so I can move the CPU cooler the other way and have the voodoo card at the farthest PCI slot.. now there is a capacitor in the way. 😒

Or get a PCI gfx card? Who needs agp anyway!

It's not as much the fact that it's baby AT, as simply having a bad layout. 😀
I also have quite a few of these (with bad layout, I mean), but I also have some baby AT boards that have the CPU socket far away from the PCI slots.

Also, I agree. Having the Voodoo 2 so close to the GeForce card is probably not a good idea (although it does depend on the case, and the GeForce 4 MX is a pretty cool chip). I'm more worried about the Voodoo 2. The FBI chip can easily go to 80+ degrees in a poorly ventilated case.
