It's probably one directly from 3dfx. I'm sure any other manufacturer would put their name on theirs or at least a part number that you can cross reference to get the manufacturers name.

Have a Matrox G400 MAX on the way for $14 shipped. Anybody know what the latest Win98 and XP drivers are and a good place to get them? I know the early drivers OpenGL performance was horrible. I hope that's been fixed in later drivers.

I hope someone picks it up here in N. America. I think we only got the first model of Spectrum computer here after the ZX-81 and then they stopped selling them. It was one of the early innocent bystanders to be gunned down after Commodore's declaration of war against Texas Instruments.

Isn't that what they call a 'Gold Finch' board or am I confused with something else? The GoldFinch connector was an audio connector (left out, right out, ground, etc..) that could be connected to the line/aux inputs of your sound card (or a matching GoldFinch connector, if your sound card had it). …

Nice catch. AT style cases are getting a bit thin on the ground these days and usually worth picking up if you can find them locally for cheap. Paying to have them shipped makes them prohibitively expensive.
