oooh dam thats some fine a$$ card..I'd stick that in some good AS bagging before anyone gets to it/ breaks it. Looks like GL card of some kind, the fact theres room for 1GB of memory is quite somthing....fairly recent I'd expect...what have you got for ICC codes/ a clearer shot?

Actually it has enough space for 2GB of PC133. The product came out a couple years ago actually.

if I am not mistaken, isn't that some sort of IDE or floppy connector that's next to the "some-sort-of-microprocessor"?

Modded GeF 440MX powering my Athlon XP rig

Scrounged an old P2 stlyee CPU cooler and gave it a new lease of life. Very effective and allows for modest OCs.

I can tell you that it is a 34-pin header.

I'm guessing nobody else has any guesses whatsoever?

Anyhow, here's an old piece of high-performance graphics hardware.

Some of the characteristics:

2 144pin SODIMM slots
1 512MB PC133 CL 1.5 module in SODIMM 0
Single VGA output
64-bit pci
large copper heatsink with integrated centrifugal blower over some sort of microprocessor.

I know it's double posting so shoot me, but I am betting on a 3DLabs chipset on this one, because I have similar card. It's made by a company called AccelGraphics, bu the 64bit PCI leads me to believe it is a Matrox chipset ossibly.

I'm sticking to my 3DLabs guns on this one.

As far as I'm aware, it still runs just fine (I haven't had it installed for a while but it was in working condition when I pulled it out). IMHO, it looks a whole lot more like a 6110 (many of which are still in use despite being a couple generations old) although they're certainly still quite very different in appearance. The attached image that I posted most recently is of a Wildcat 4210 (I believe it's a Wildcat II but don't hold me to that as I'm not 100% certain).

Here's an image of the back of the 4210. If anybody has seen me post about how a graphics card that occupies two expansion slots is no big deal, I believe this image speaks for itself.

I thought that SLI was scalable link interface and the last time I checked, the original PCI isn't capable of such. (Not to mention that I also think that SLI is only part of the PCIe specification). *shrug* who knows...maybe I'm wrong. (Given that on the PCI bus system, that its shared bandwidth, while I believe on PCIe that's capable of SLI, that they're independent of each other.)
