I tried to do a search on ebay including sold items, but couldn't see any that were still in the original box!

I still remember the day my brother brought it home from our local computer store 'microplus' .

I also remember telling him he should have bought a 3dfx voodoo 5 5500 instead! 😆 🤣

Back when I looked last year, actual completed auctions finished anywhere from $350 to $450 USD. For one complete in the box, I imagine it might go a bit (but not too much more) higher. These cards are weird and kind of desirable because they're bad in an interesting way; I manage to get surprisingly good performance in Quake 2 with it, as well as Need For Speed IV and a few other games where the drivers were tweaked to work well. For everything else, one is better off running it in single-chip mode and using it as a fancy Rage Fury Pro. That's how I use it most of the time in a PIII-550 system; it works best with CPUs that are faster, but it seems to be VERY picky about the motherboard chipset and its AGP implementation. The 440BX is known to be good (that's what I use with mine), as is the SIS 735 and SIS 745 (as confirmed by PixelPipes). I've also seen someone get it working with an ASUS TUSL2-C using the Intel 815EP chipset.

Yes your Pioneer dual deck is worth something to collectors, have a Teac AD-7 that still works 😁
No clue on the vid card.....

Nice ! Please post some pictures. There are a few members here that also have some vintage/older audio gear as well as computers.
I collected some Kenwood stuff over the years back in early 2000's, need a new belt for my KD-2055 turntable hooked to a KA-701 with KT7500 tuner with that Teac.
For some dumb reason fell in love with the all aluminum stuff, Thanks for bringing back some good memories !
