So I guess I'd be looking for any pre-PCIE cards that have a PCI variant then. Thanks for the help!

Native AGP adapted to PCI?

Parhelia is 2002, but it wasn't a particularly fast card even then. PCI-X died off pretty immediately after PCI-e came out, at least on the graphics card front, so that might be pretty much up there with the fastest full-64-bit-width 66MHz PCI-X cards. Have you tested with the 3450 PCI? It's pretty …

If you haven't yet I'd definitely repaste that GeForce card, as heat seems to have killed a lot of cards from that generation.

Neat video. I love these old Pentium M-era laptops, especially the compact subnotebook ones like the X40. I actually did something similar on my Dell Latitude X1 recently, with a 128GB Samsung Evo card and a 2GB DDR2 module. I've got some footage from it, might edit it together and upload it.

And fwiw we had one of these machines at work with the exact same specs, and we sold it for $300 USD not too long ago. Just had a fresh install of OSX Catalina and a keyboard, mouse and power cable.

Install windows 7 on it, then it's still useful. If Apple had remembered that "Form Follows Function" and put some screws on the stupid thing so I could get into it and install an SSD, I probably would. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHan1Ivc6fk I really have no desire to pry the glass LCD panel …

Recently been putting a system together with dual Opterons, but the motherboard (Tyan K8SD Pro/Tyan S2882) and it only has PCI-X slots, no PCI-E. I've got a Radeon HD 3450 PCI that I could use, but based on the video from PixelPipes it seems I'd be severely bottlenecked by PCI, and I'd like to keep …

I've got an M-ATX version of this machine that came with a 1.6Ghz 478 P4 in it, interesting to see that they kept the same styling for so long. Edit - Actually just realized that the ATX chassis you've got looks to be nearly the same metal frame as one I've got that had a 3.06Ghz P4 and Rambus ram, …

Hahaha that motherboard box definitely screams mid-2000's. And is that a Thermaltake Xasyr on the boxart?
