i am giving away an nvidia quadro fx 3000 256mb agp graphics card.
why? because it's a good workstation card (this card is not meant for gaming. thats what the geforce cards are for) that i have no need for!

rules:
-winner pays shipping
-no warranty. it works atm, i just made sure a few minutes ago!

how to enter:
1. specs of ur computer (the one this would go into)
2. why you want it/what u'd do with it
3. please visit my new website: http://appleopinions.weebly.com/

i will post pictures of the card later on today...

ok here are the pictures:

however, i will close this up early if i have no entries by next saturday...
entry deadline: may 29th, 2010
 
Biggest issue is that it's a 7 year old FX5900/NV35 core, and even in a workstation is reaching for minimum requirement for apps.

It would be like trying to giveaway a Geforce 7800 or X1800 nowadays, better than nothing, but perhaps not worth the shipping to most here.

Likely better off giving it to a local school which would make better use of it than anyone just replacing an equally old gaming card.

I would, but I don't really have a box to stick it in. My old box might even be suitable for it, but there'd be some guilt in taking out my 4200TI. The card seems to be a legend, and rightfully so. If anything, once I'm done building my new PC (in the next two days) I'll grab my old box out of storage and see what's what.

no, no, keep this open, I respect what you are doing here, and i'm sure there is a poor lad somewhere in this world still on their integrated graphics, this would be just the blessing they needed.

Hope this answers your question. It's the first line of the thread ;)

Sorry about that, I'm a little sleepy--, I'll ask a friend, some time ago he said that he could not find any cheap agp( he doesn't do internet for buying things so..) for an old computer, if he still want one I'll tell him to join here.
