1) No cooler- If card was run that way for any period of time, chances are the chip is baked. I'm sure it fell off or was removed. Twinpower Banshees used *rubber* hold downs for the heatsinks and they like to get brittle and fail.  Tongue

2) Card looks like it is a TV out PCB (missing parts of course)

3) "FCC" and "CE" indicate it is a production sale board.

4) Date on the chip- first week of November '98, Banshees were in full sale by October 1st '98.
