No, but thanks. 2cpus would be no use for me, that and my 3dfx system is a smaller system (see SIG) I just need a 5500.

my GuS does not fully work in win NT OS's. and it would be a tight fit in my case. Bare in mind where the cd drive goes. It would get in the way of the cpu heat sink.It would make a nice system tho.

oh, that sucks about your soundcard..too bad.

But seeing whre cd drive goes, it should still fit nicely Smiley

But seeing layout of mobo:

https://www.google.nl/#q=a7m-266d

that shouldn't be a problem...ram is before heatsinks, so......and normally there's enough room to clear the ram Smiley


but...your call.....

but aren't there nt drivers for your card here??

The NT drivers are pre alpha at best. Buggy only support for wave audio. I was working on a driver, but I had a hard drive fail on me.

That really sucks then.....no way  to start up development on the drivers anymore??

If you'd be successful, I'm sure loads of people would be very grateful.

well, I re-installed win2k, no dx8.1 install this time, games didn't seem to like it all that much.

Installed SFFT 1.9 + tools and so far installed:

Colin McRae Rally 2 --> runs very smooth
Final Fantasy 7 --> won't run on win2k...not original + patch or ultima edition (will play in XP )
Tombraider 1 --> doesn't wanna run just yet, maybe need patch
Tombraider 2 --> doesn't wanna run just yet, maybe need patch
Tombraider 3 --> doesn't wanna run just yet, maybe need patch
Return to Castle Wolfenstein -->
Unreal Tournament 99 GOTY --> drrooooooll Smiley

And then I went on to install WindowsXP, also with SFFT1.9 + tools:

Colin McRae Rally 2 --> runs like a charm
Final Fantasy 7 --> runs like a charm, both original patched and ultima edition
Tombraider 1 -->
Tombraider 2 -->
Tombraider 3 -->
Return to Castle Wolfenstein --> runs like a charm
Unreal Tournament 99 GOTY --> drrooooooll Smiley
