Wow I'm impressed.
Which CPU?
Can you post the driver? You'd just have to pack it in an archive if you don't have the links.
You made me want to try this card ignoring that boring chips on the top.

It would be interesting to find archived official pages that should even have that .2039 that was not archived from the company webpage. The Voodoo Rush road seems the easy one to find more files to work with.
Latest Voodoo Rush drivers are known to overclock the AT3D to an extent that many cards show artifacts even on the desktop! Mine supports the frequency (72MHz, I think). It shows that there was at least a minimal effort to improve the chip's performance late on its life. You are right, it could be interesting to dig.
That card look great!
The CPU used was before the Pentium II 400 but later went for a quiet Celeron 333. While scores were lower, I'd imagine the chip can't do much more than already does with those "high end" CPUs. I was even deciding to try again the Socket 7 option which may increase the audio card compatibility which is indeed a big problem. I think the ALi chipset had a better isolation of both video cards and audio cards without anything else on the PCI/ISA rails.
