Awesome man - how many fps you get on that thing :)

Well, I haven't installed it yet. For some reason, it doesn't want to fit in my PCI slot very well...half the card sticks out the back of the PC! I'll let you know when I get it installed with drivers for XP!

I'm aiming for .5 FPS!!!

If you have to, that model looks like the same one I have, you can break ... I mean jumper it into two peices. And BTW, I get .45 FPS.

Hehehe. That's not right! You have to get your trusty dremel tool, cut a slot in your case so the card will fit. Take you a slot and break it off the mother board, solder you up a few wires from that spot on the motherboard to the bottom of the slot and wammo!


OK....that died, I'm still trying.

I still got some S3, Trident, and matrox cards around the tech room that still get a workout when needed :)
