That funky card is 4x ATI 9700 Pro's strapped together and was used for flight sims. That would've cost you a pretty penny when it was new.

Good grief! I haven't seen one of those in 20years. Nice find! I'm guessing 48MB of RAM, or is it 24MB?

It's a thing of beauty, you don't get to see many boomboxes nowdays... But this thing will most likely need more than cleaning & dusting... You will have to take it apart & replace the belt(s) for the cassette deck.

What happened to the northbridge chipset?

Looks like it needs a new heatsink.

When I zoomed in on the exposed die it looked chipped in the left middle.

To me that looks like leftover thermal stuff caked on.
@MaxiPro800 Can you chime in? We're kinda curious..

MaxiPro800 · Jul 23, 2019

Yeah, that's just leftover thermal stuff. I applied a ASUS heatsink I had laying around and it POST'd just fine with a big FUJITSU SIEMENS logo, using the Radeon X300.

As for the EPoX EP-3VCM, I am aware it has bulging caps. They were already replaced with rather high quality capacitors - a few OST, 2 Panasonic FLs and 4 unused KZG 1800uF 16v. The board doesn't output too much heat so they're just fine.

X1950GT-AGP?

Robert B · Jul 23, 2019

YEP! I found this puppy at the local flea market last Saturday. Even if it is slower than a X1900 it still packs a punch in the correct build.

Just restored. It is still untested tough.

I pulled it from a HP tower myself. Chances are that it is working. I hope.

I paid peanuts for it, an Antec 380W PSU and 2 Gigs of Crucial DDR400. I left a P4 CPU, cooler, the case, 2 ODDs, the HDD and a low end ASUS motherboard behind.

Why do you have to tease everyone with your hardware collection?

Trekkie4 · Jul 25, 2019

Oh, wow!! The very first "3D Blaster" card from Creative if I'm not mistaking, years before 3dfx even existed... Now, that truly is a piece of history! :respect:

@biffzinker Probably because he can...

Hahha. Yeah, this is an early one - right around the time when the NVIDIA NV1 was released in 1995 - 100% before 3DFX. This is the uber rare Vesa Local Bus version. NVIDIA's NV1 was PCI-based.
