Yeah, it's boxed PCI version, but I still can't justify the price...

And this AGP version is cheaper, but I don't think it's cheap enough...

This card has been through the ringer. Rusted, a blown diode (I think), and untested. Unlikely to be functional.

Is that a BIN price or a ransom? Next the guy will have pictures of dismembered pieces with promises of more to come if nobody gives in.

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

Seeing those home made stickers makes me wonder why nobody made a carlike cooler with steel rim stickers for the 5.5k yet

CT2740 and CT3980 are highly desirable by some people. They'll buy it for sure.

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.

Meanwhile the ct3600 witch has similar reverb and chorus effects as the awe32's, sounds as good as a awe64 and uses 30pin simms can be had cheap.

Meanwhile the voodoo2, witch used to be a 30-40$ card as skyrocketed.
250$ for a set of simi matching voodoo 2's.

CAD Accelerator and one of the few video cards that supports Dual Monitor / Extended Desktop on windows 3.11. This one in this listing is the cut-down version and does not have the expansion ports for extra video ram. You can clearly see the solder points where the expansion ports would of been.
