| 177985 | 2003-09-26 02:16:00 | Does anyone know of a computer shop in NZ that might be selling older graphics cards? Specifically, old 2xAGP cards, 32MB or less? Even second-hand in good condition would be good. I've been looking on trademe.co.nz, and there are a couple of options there, but I'm always on the lookout for more options. Cheers Lizard |

| 177988 | 2003-09-26 04:14:00 | I have a Powercolor TNT-2 m64 16mb ram, thats steps down to 2x agp. If you want it, its still in v.good condition. Have you tried some online places, I bet some still sell old ones. Try starlyte.co.nz |

| 177989 | 2003-09-26 08:48:00 | Thanks for the replies guys I checked out starlyte, but nothing. Thanks anyway. I realise I'm about two years too late (maybe more), so I guess it's probably going to be second hand... I'll have a think about that card PoWa. I think the TNT2 may be a conflicting card (FIC sd11 mobo)... There are a couple of cards on trademe I'm looking at. Thanks for the offer... Lizard |

| 177991 | 2003-09-26 09:16:00 | www.pricespy.co.nz Brings up one 32mb tnt2 available at Gibbray technologies (www.gbtech.co.nz) But as you say the tnt2 might be incompatible, but I doubt it is unless you've tried it :) What spec computer are u trying to run it on? |

| 177992 | 2003-09-26 09:26:00 | AMD Athlon 500mhz (K7), 320MB PC100 SDRAM, FIC SD11 mobo. I've checked out the FIC website which has a FAQ on the SD11, and I seem to recall it mentioned a problem with the 32mb cards drawing more power than allowable. It specifically referred to a Savage card, and the TNT2 chipset (I think) but I couldn't access the page earlier today to check exactly. However, I found another page today that reviewed the SD11 (when it was released, I think) with a system that included the ATI Rage Fury 128GL. All the info I could find about this card suggests its a 32MB card, so I thought it might work... If a 32MB TNT2 would work, that would be fine... but I suspect it may not... Thanks |
