I think I fragged my Voodoo5 in the main machine (866) today trying to remove those damned stock HSFs. Pulled the MX400 from the [email protected] machine so I could get online at least, but that left a major cruncher dead in the water.
Just remembered that I had an ISA vid card laying around and decided to give it a go. Lo and behold! WindowsME actually loaded! No pretty colors or anything, but that's another 1.5 GHz of crunching power that I just avoided losing for the next two weeks. And after losing that machine and the [email protected] machine for 7 days last week, I can't afford any more lost time.
For reference, it's a Cirrus Logic CL-GD5402. I'm actually considering replacing all my crunchers' AGP cards with these. LOL Think of the money we'd save.
