Yes, @Sphere478, I actually ordered what you proposed and I will when it'll arrive.

I’ve gotten pretty good 3d mark scores (windows) with mine on socket …

A quality intel nic is probably the best. I use a 1000gt pro something rather I’d say killer nic but they are hard to find and no 9x support I don’t think

Hey, here’s a thought, and it would be easy to add. A pc104 header would be handy for systems with only one isa slot free. It would allow people to add more stuff using this card.

On socket, install resistor leg in the outer middle pin on corner with notch. Measure to case metal. That’s your core voltage

It occurs to me that a pci-x/pci 64-bit to agp adapter would be very welcome among those with server boards. of course this would either be an active adapter (is there such a chip?) or it would be basically passive and just use the extra pins for more power and only be 32-bit
