I bet ~20% of the content in that manual is the EULA.

I was going to say DVI is too new, but I guess DisplayPort is starting to gain traction.

_JP_ · Sep 16, 2013

It's old enough if it has S-Video instead of HDMI. DVI has been around for a long time now.

TRWOV · Sep 16, 2013

My 8500DV had DVI only and it might be a brain fart but I think my 7500 had a DVI port too.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Sep 16, 2013

My original Ati Radeon DDR card didn't have dvi, it had vga, s-video, and a composite video in and out. Think I may dig him out and get a pic one day here soon.

Ive never seen a hard drive with sound dampening. I can only imagine why it didn't go well

Lol, my dad's Compaq Presario had that. I still have the drive, it still is in a working condition after a decade 9of which a few years have been shelf life though).

GreiverBlade · Sep 17, 2013

on the hunt again, i just won a Xpertvision X1950GT a good replacement for my X800GT

i can even use my Antec Earthwatts 380 who has a pcieX 6pin with the retrorig

btw my 3D prophet 2 GTS Pro has the soldering point for DVI output so DVI is considered as "nostalgic" if a geforce 2 can have DVI then its not too new to be called so

my GF4 Ti4200 has DVI so do my 3D Prophet 9700 (im waiting on the end of a auction on a 3D Prophet Kyro :eek:

)

Jstn7477 · Sep 17, 2013

I had one of these for a while, pulled it out of some freebie machine and eventually it died or I broke it. (This goes along with the DVI discussion, card was from 2000 and had it as an option, but it only supported 1280x1024 max because the Millennium G450 had a 360MHz and 235MHz RAMDAC.)

Holy anodized aluminum, batman! That heatsink for the rialto is massive!!
Biggest I've seen so far.

Coincidentally, I was browsing DX as they've recently added new heatsinks to their products list and there's a couple of them that caught my attention as good enough to cool that chip on my x1650pro.

I know I have one around here somewhere too. I think it's 20GB or 40GB, but it still works.

torgoth · Sep 18, 2013

^ Soltek SL-K8AN-RL Its almost perfect. loose 1 or 2 pci slots and add another pair of ddr slots and its the dream board :respect:

I actually have one of those boards put away in a box. Don't know why but the damn thing just quit booting one time. Made some loud beeps and never booted again. :cry:

None the less I kept the board as it is such an awesome looking motherboard. Hmm, should hang that on the wall. :laugh:

Yep the Quantum Big Foot hard drives where monsters. Took a 5 1/4" drive bay. I actually have a couple of them. One of them is about a 1.6gb drive and the other is a 2.1gb drive. I think both of them came out of Compaq work stations.
