The PCB does look simmilar, but no, that isn't a 9800XT. That one is a little younger.
This is a PCB of a 9800XT, btw:

It looks like it has a PCIe to AGP bridge chip on it due to the AGP traces going to vias (presumably to the bridge on the other side of the board) instead of the GPU. |

It appears my suspicion about the PCIe to AGP bridge chip was right, but the card was not. It's definitely an X1650 Pro AGP 512MB by looking at the board, presumably manufactured by PowerColor.

It is.
![]() Damn, you are good! ![]() Here's the photo with the cooler, as promised. (Not the original cooler, obviously) ![]() And here is the card's back. The RiAlto bridge in all it's glory.

I used to have a X800 GTO with the bridge chip, but I could never figure out what was the pad covering it for?
Note the cardboard and electrical tape extension I made for the heat sink shroud. The HS was made for a PCIe card, and the bridge chip made the AGP version longer so that the HS didn't exhaust out of the case. ![]()

But I also have an idea as to why the cards don't have a heatsink there. You can't fix it anywhere and there's not enough surface area on the chip to glue it on. |

I have no idea. I've read (and been told) that it's there to cool the chip. Now, how does it manage to do that, your guess is as good as mine.
Anyway, you guys know my TNT2: Spoiler
Here's the manual that came with it: ![]() ![]() Huge, ain't it? Had too dig hard to find this. Didn't recall where it was. It's also something not usually found in old hardware threads.

Right, finally got round to unboxing those 486 dx33 parts (a full pc but no case), going to have to modify a case to be able to mount it in though, should try first if it works :S
Also... and this is the trully special one... a MINT condition 486 laptop with, get this, a working battery, and it all works perfectly, dos and win 3.1 loaded on it, doom and wolf 3d installed on it with PS2 connections, vga out and even a modem, this thing must´ve costed a fortune in it´s day. Will post pickies of it soon

I've been trying to get hold of a Amiga 4000 for years, but they are still fetching some really good money.. My Amiga 1200 has an 1230 with 8Mb of ram and a hard drive.. It works really well
I think I have a CD Rom drive for it somewhere!! Still a damn sight faster than any PC I have had!! :lol: Gotta love that Amiga OS...I can't believe how many 32X's I have!! I have one with a Mega CD as well downstairs ![]() I used to have a Amiga 1200 with a PPC 603+ and a BVision.. That was a monstor of a system, I don't think I have any pictures of that.. I'll see if I can find some That sadly stopped working due to a bit of a dodgy setup, it knocked out the electric to the house and sadly the system was lost

I bought new and was working when I pulled it. The cable is a loopback VGA card to Decoder-> Decoder direct to monitor- I'll see if I can find a driver disk here for it
