awesome!! I still keep mine that I bought back in the day, boxed like this 🤣 the windows apps have some funny voice-changing toy and a great DSP config program 😊

Yes 😀 but if you want to cheat a bit and get your "fix" now there are some more info and screenshots/video in the 3D Accelerated Games list thread.

Are the drivers on VOGONSDrivers? If not, you know what to do! 😜

NitroX Infinity have uploaded the drivers on Vogons Drivers earlier. I plan on scanning the manual and uploading it. The manual is needed incase anyone gets the bare card. It uses a 15pin to 9pin loop back cable, its not the standard cable as on a Voodoo or MPEG accelerator card. The manual provides the pin-out of the cable so it's possible to make one yourself.

I'll also provide the executables for the bundled games so incase someone finds a card they will be able to test it.

Right on. 😎

Then I would eat it.. umm never mind we won't get into that 😊

Actually it looks a little too yellow. Makes me wonder if they used colorant or something

It's all ecology, man! Either that or lemon juice.

dang, I am disappointed... I expected more from that card 😢

Today I got this computer for free. 31km of driving in one way to make a pickup.

Specs:

Monitor is 19" Samsung 957DF.

Picture not taken by me.

That system is a Geforce 7950GT/7800GS and 1.5GB memory away from being a perfect DX9 box.
The i865 chipset can in theory support most s775 CPUs but the CPU support for that board is limited to Pentium 4 5xx and 6xx and for later revisions Pentium D.
If you want a faster CPU a P4 66x or 67x is probably the best choice, the Pentium D needs alot of cooling.

I'll have to decide what to do with it. The guy didn't know the specifications of the computer, only that it works.

I also have one s754 Sempron64 2800+ AGP computer with one low tech Asus motherboard that is really OC unfriendly. One AsRock P4 478 AGP/PCI-e combo motherboard with 2.8GHz HT P4. But my best AGP card is Gainward 6800GT@Ultra. Too bad that this MB doesn't support C2D processors.

I just won another Intel Core Extreme QX6700. ~18 Euro. Same seller as last time.
And I got the first one I won and I have checked that it is working so the CPUs are for real.

The same seller sold lots of other socket 775 Quad core CPUs, even a poor mans version, the Q9300 sold for 30 Euro... I prefer cheaper 10 times more ledgendary CPUs for less money.

Pretty boring, but I've got a Toshiba FDD Attachment Floppy Drive on order from eBay.

And some audio and MIDI cables

My Turtle Beach Santa Cruz just arrived (ordered 3 weeks ago!). I suspected that my Sound Blaster Live was causing some issues with Windows Me (or my motherboard), so I decided to try a different sound card. So far I'm pretty impressed by the sound effects. Unreal sounds amazing with this card.

I love that the labels for each header is printed on the back of the pcb. Makes it so much easier to connect new devices. With my Live, I had to pull the entire card out just to figure out which was the CD audio header.

This beautie. New in Box. ~23 Euro buyout.
Also included 2x550 MHz P3 550 (used), Unspecified amount of memory (used).

Seems someone planned a build a long time ago...

That's a cool board. For a minute there I was thinking "hey wait where is the CPU socket" and then I remembered slot 1

It looks like it'll take 2 GB of RAM too. I'd like to get around to building a P3 system (I have an OEM system or 2 but those are rather unflexible)

Not that I have the space for another machine though.

It is a 440GX board, apparently, so yeah, it should take 2GB of RAM.

I think I've turned into a hoarder, I purchased 2 ET4000's. One has a dodgey signal however I'm waiting on a replacement cap which should hopefully fix it up!

Nah, you're safe. Take a look at my basement, then you'll understand. 😀
