This is a "pro" 3D card for PCs from circa 2000. It is an AGP pro card.

This is free for the cost of shipping (I'd guess about $12 in the US).

I suspect this is destined for the trash, but I've seen people occasionally talking about piecing together vintage PC workstation style systems, I thought I'd offer it here before it hits the trash.

BTW, it seems that there was linux driver work as recently as 2010 for GLINT based cards.

That card was a monster back in time. Reminds me my old Elsa Gloria XXL, although the Elsa was less powerful by far. I would take it if it was PCI

Nobody?

What if I threaten to toss it in the trash?

If it was PCI, that would have probably meant I'd have actually gotten some use out of it. Oh well.

I actually collect old video cards like this one, and I'd happily buy it from you if I didn't already own one, a complete boxed set in fact. You might want to try eBay, as there are retro video card collectors on there who will snatch old cards like this if the price is right.

I am a sucker for vintage PC workstations. I have an old Dell that this would go nicely in. If you still have it, PM me and I'll be glad to take it off your hands.

That was actually me. I'd be interested in it for that purpose, but I can't say I'll have time to work on it.
