Hi guys! I had the idea of doing this for quite long and it seems the time has finally come 🤣

Specs:

Brand new 2500-M @ 2400mhz 1.7v

Quadro2 Pro with Geforce2 ultra clocks

Quantum3D AAlchemy 8164 w/ powerboard & original TK power PSU

Abit AN7

2 gigs of DDR333 ram

400gig Barracuda drive

TT armor case

The main use of it will be experiencing 8x rotated grid fsaa and resolutions of 1280 or more with 4xfsaa on some Glide & opengl titles 😁 . I will post pics as soon as my 20 pin atx extender arrives tomorrow 😜

Greets

EDIT: Moved to a nforce2 based mobo so I could use my mobile cpu & temporally using a matrox g400 at the time of the photo.

I'm jealous 🤣. Was this the card that was on auction just recently on ebay with a bunch of other stuff or did you acquire it from somewhere else?

I bought it from a seller in China with the PSU and everything tested for 500, not a bad price at all 😵

Yes!, only for win2000 & WinXP though. Take into account drivers are limited to OpenGL and Glide3 (games & apps which use Glide3x.dll)

Turned out the power supply needs to be repaired since a strong coil whine comes from it and the card isn't receiving the full 2.9v required. When I receive it again I'm sure I will take better photos and with a proper camera 🤣
