Yes ... it even says that pretty much on the page.
Is this some attempt to announce your ebay auction here? 😉
Yeap, it's for the extra 1mb it can get. It's handy to get a card with those chips on, because they can fit to any card with those sockets.
I dont have any vintage computer stuff yet. So it couldnt be me.
I don't really get why it's noteworthy enough for a thread about it... it's a completely average card at a completely average price. The only thing remotely special about it is that it's supposedly NOS, which also includes the fact that it's never been tested to make sure it works.
Ouch! 😵
