Today I pass my 100 cards mark with a long overdue package from UK.

Congratulations!
A nice milestone.

Cheers!!

Thanks 😀 It's my first Canopus card. I've read about them here in the forum, and when this one popped up... I just had to grab it.

Riva TNT2 Ultra?

It's a tier below, TNT2 Pro. I've read somewhere it can actually reach higher clocks than the Ultra, not that I plan to abuse this old lass.

Just arrived, a Gigabyte nForce2 motherboard with AMD Athlon XP 2500+, sold as not working because the previous owner said "it just stopped working" so we'll see what I can do with it. It does have some bulging caps, so I'll likely recap it.

Also in the package, a Geforce4 Ti 4200 and a SoundBlaster SB0220. I am really hoping the video card works, I can deal with everything else not working if that were the case, I don't have a GeForce4 yet so that alone would make the whole package well worth it. It's dirty and needs a good cleaning. I paid $67 out the door for everything, worth the chance.

That board will probably fireup after recap, and the Ti 4200 is really a great card for DX7-8 titles. I coupled mine with Pentium 3 at 1 GHz and the games fly. A Tualatin would probably make it even better. Good luck with testing 😀
