Seems I wasn't so lucky today.
I tried hard to search for a better GPU than my old FX5200 64MB (that ABiT Siluro I was talking about having 64MB RAM) and I somehow ended with something worse than that - a Radeon 9600SE 128MB V/D/VO. Not only it's 64-bit - I can't even BIOS mod it (9600s and 9550s were supposedly able to be BIOS-modded into 9700s or 9800s - something around that) and to top that, it can't display a color image over my home-made S-Video cable. ( out of PS/2 keyboard cable - methinks one of the main signals - either Luma or Chroma - is on the unused pins that I snapped off - in which case I'll try and find a way to build another one from a old HP cable - it has more wires which may mean it is fully wired for each PS/2 signal, which in turn might provide me a full colour image regardless of what GPU I use).
And the $64 question is: is the 128MB 9600SE in any way better than the 64MB FX5200, performance wise?
