I don't need one with a DVD decoder daughter card, just the video accelerator. Mine went bad, as you can tell from
this picture . I really don't have much dinero, so if you'd like to help out a fellow Maccie with a deal, that sure be swell. I'd even be willing to send you the old one, which works, but has heat tolerance problems.
See, what happened was I ran my Blue and White G3 with two video cards in there for a long time, the Rage just sitting there. The other was a Voodoo 5 5500, which puts out a good deal of heat, and my suspicion is it lowered the heat tolerance overhead on the Rage 128.
When I boot up, every thing is good and the card works perfectly, but after a short time, usually less than half an hour, the screen suddenly goes to that blittery effect like in the picture. If I restart, the effect immediatly goes away, but will return in another fifteen minutes to half an hour. The amount of time it takes varies, depending on how warm the room is. If the room is really cold, it can go for longer than half an hour, but if the room is hot, sometimes it takes less tahn 5 minutes. The strange thing is the mouse is always normal looking, but I had some trustworthy people tell me that it (blitteryness) meant the card was bad, and I trust them so I'm looking to get it replaced. Ah well.
