Ohhh, I see you got the "Dreadlock Ruby" edition. 
It looks like the version that is actually a slowed down 6970 that could be flashed & control the overclock with the dual BIOS switch. I didn't get one soon enough and by then it couldn't be flashed. It was a true 6950, but I did eventually get it clocked up to the speed of a 6970.

Yes, I nearly forgot that until you said something. But, you're right. I purposely bought this card because it could be flashed to make it a 6970. I don't remember any dual BIOS switch though. I never had that.. First, I overclocked it first to make sure it was stable at the higher clocks and then I just flashed it to a 6970 BIOS. So, basically it's a HD 6970 card now unless I flash it back... naw.
Mr. Scott, post away, please. I've exhausted my stash of cards and can't find anymore photos.
I might have some of them old drivers too, but I've have to go through a pile of backup CDs.

I had a Sapphire X1900XT box with no card, but the stock cooler was there. The girl on the cooler is not Ruby. I've never seen this one before or after, until I googled it just now. Pretty sure I sold the card with a waterblock already attached. The funny thing is, everything else in the box is all seal up. Instructions, drive CD, cables, adapters, etc. Sometimes I bought OEM cards. All you got was the vid card in an anti-static bag.

I just stumbled across this pic of my 1900xtx, one of the first GPUs suitable for GPU folding. I think that I had a couple of them, or maybe a model with a similar name.

I wish I kept all my pictures from all my old cards as I upgraded from 2000 onwards I had so many that I would purchase used off Ebay use them for a while then when I needed an upgrade I would sell it on ebay again to fund towards another used card that was better, but my first GPU was and I can't believe I remember most of them was a Hercules Prophet 4500 64mb AGP. Boy it made life easier when playing Diablo 2 lol as I was using an onboard card at the time in my first and only prebuilt PC a Compaq Presario 5410 which had a AMD K3 (I think) 350mhz CPU, 32mb PC100 SDRAM, 4GB HDD and CD ROM drive and I paid £750 for it back in 2000.
My cards after that were (from what I remember went back to my old ebay listings most of the cards where as stated bought/used/sold on for next one)
XFX 6600GT 128mb GDDR3 + New Artic NV6 Cooler (my favorite looking card once I put 3rd party cooler on)
Xpert Vision Nvidia Geforce 7600GT 256mb GDDR3
Inno 3D Geforce 8600GT 256mb GDDR3 PCI-E Card
GeForce 9600GT 512mb GDDR3 + Neo Copper Blu Cooler
Sapphire ATi Radeon X800 GTO PCI-E 256mb
AMD 5850 1GB
AMD 7850 2GB
I also remember purchasing Geforce 4 MX 440 cards the very low ends ones for people to make there systems a little better when they had nothing but didn't play games just browsed etc.

I forgot about the brief period folding with ATI at the dawn of using GPUs. I was folding on my x1900's back then (for another team
). Your XTX looks just like my crossfire edition & my XT.
A few? Do I detect a little sarcasm?
