Wooha! I didn't know that this card (proto) even exists! Niiiiicee..
Does anyone know how many of 'em were built?

pretty much every radeon card also had a maxx (dual gpu) prototype.

Yeah, I remember that there was a picture of a dual Radeon 9700 Pro floating around the net a while back... Wink

Wonder if anyone ever managed to get their hands on one of these "proto" cards? Huh

You're probably thinking of the evans&sutherland (or what the heck they were called Cheesy ) CAD cards here....?!

If I recall correctly the guys from iXBT (in Russia) have one. Or did have one. Smiley

Nah, it was designed to be a proto for the current X2 Radeons... Wink

@Thandor - Hmm...interesting (lucky B@st@rds!) Cool

Now I'm here... let's find some interesting hardware pictures:
...

Two Mendocino's and the slowest Deschutes (350MHz) CPU. I like the latter because it is the fastest Pentium II in the old S.E.C.C. packaging.

...
Two Slot 1 Celeron 'Mendocino' CPU's and one Celeron 'Covington'. I liked the shot. The 'Covington' is interesting because it lacks L2 cache which means you have to wait about 5 minutes before the 'double-click' on 'My Computer' is processed  Roll Eyes.

...
Shot of an Intel Pentium D 920 Engineering Sample. My first Engineering sample, built in end of 2005 when the 9## models weren't sold yet. The CPU is now eating it''s nose out most of the time in my server.

...
Intel Celeron D 355 Engineering Sample. This is the fastest Celeron D 'Prescott' out there and since its an ES it is possible to simulate every Celeron D 'Prescott' out there by lowering the multiplier. Note- the slower Celeron D ES CPU's (except some A4 stepping which may overclock badly) don't allow to raise the multiplier above its default multiplier. By the way, this is the case for all the normal ES 'Netburst' CPU's.

...
(Thumbnail)
Now these are interesting in my opinion. I like both the quality of the picture and the cards themselves. These are the 'Build-by-nVidia' GeForce FX 5800 Ultra boards which were send out to previewers and such. As far as I know only 1000 of these nVidia-boards with the green-like blower exist. The left card is #30, the right card is number 25. Another picture of board #25 (along with VolariDUO V8 Ultra Retail and VolariV8 Sample) can be found here.

...
(Thumbnail)
This is a rather old picture already but it brings back some memories. Though this topic is not for 3dfx hardware, a 5500 is still visible (sorry! Tongue). The middle is an ATi Radeon X800 from Sapphire and the bottom is a part of an ASUS GeForce 6800LE AGP board (Which can be better seen here). The 6800LE was quite a good overclocker and by putting some ice cooling on the beast we (a friend of mine and me) got ourselves a nice score of 6033 with 3DMark05 which resulted in third place of the Futuremark ORB among the 6800LE boards. Unfortunatly the card died in an accident between my friends mom and a turned on PC - but not turned on waterpump. The card fried. (and yet it had lot's of potential to go higher, no voltmods were utilized nor the PC was tweaked much with software).

I never had any issues with running a Celeron with no cache, it was pretty damn fast at anything!

266 Celeron @ 400+ mhz with stock cooling =)

The Mendocino's did overclock very well too back then Smiley. Those did 400+ with ease, too Wink.

Build two exact PC's; one with Mendocino and one with Covington. There is a huge gap between the two. So if you found the Covington 'pretty damn fast' the Mendocino will be 'real damn fast' Tongue.
