My AIW 9800Pro 128MB w/ the zalman heatpipe cooler and ram-sinks, you can also see my 9200 below it. And as you can see, following the directions, the cooler interfers with the mounting bracket for the cpu fan, also by zalman.

Not at all! It took me about 10 minues from cleaning off the AS5, taking off the stock cooler, lapping the silencer, re-applying AS5, tinning, and then screwing on the new cooler mounts. The only tough part was to get the holes aligned right, but that just takes a minute or less to get.

Edit: Nice pics Cyno01

I came across a box with a few of these inside here at work. It's a Matrox Meteor Pro Revision B. The model is listed as Meteor/PPB. I guess they were video capture cards or something like that. Just an unusual card.

hey BA that would be a good card to PIMP up. maybe change the MOFSET HS to a bigger one and stick a p1 or p2 hsf on that! that would be pretty cool!

No, but I'm pretty sure they do. Based upon the other stuff that was in the box, they were part of a system upgrade for 4 computers.
