A sub-standard 5900/128..............

5900/128 GPU 400MHz , memory 850MHz (128Mbytes)
substantial heatsinks on memory, GPU heat-sink/fan;
taller than 1 slot-width.

No longer in production. Insufficient profit margin
for the board vendors. Any remaining have inflated
prices. Dabs (UK) has some Aopen genuine 5900
at a reasonable price about a week ago. Any left on
Newegg are prohibitively expensive.


5900XT GPU 390/400MHz, memory 700MHz (128Mbytes)
no memory heatsink, flimsy heatsink/fan
- 1 slot-width. Heatsink may be on memory
in "golden samples"
