Anyone have some insight on this card? I can't find any info on it and the heatsync is being a pain. Also, i can't load it into a computer as I don't have the duel DVI cable...

I know it's an ATI, and it came from a Dell. I think it's an X300, but I don't know for sure...

It kinda looks like a 9550, but i am not sure on that.

"Bidding has ended for this item" was seen when I got there. Sorry about that. There is no image available now.

doesn't look pci, cause pci cards don't have the little lock things on eaither ends of the part you put into the slot.

For a brief second an image appears with a $9.99 asking price then disappears. If you can provide a better link it would be easier to id once it stays onscreen long enough.

I can see the picture fine. Looks like a PCI-E. It looks like a green version of an X300.

HP runs a green model where Power Color and others run red colored cards. This looks precisely like the model seen at Ebay. http://www0.shopping.com/xPO-Hewlett_Packard_ATI_RADEON_X300_SE_128MB_DDR_w_DVI_I

weird, the one that came in my HP was red

The earlier release of that model card or batch sent to some companies like HP/Compaq could explain that easy enough. While retail and online vendors see the red colored card and complete builds see the green the idea there has more to do with the onshelf marketing appearance. The green color obviously makes it appear more drab while the red "calls for action" when competing with NVidia as a gaming card.

At first glance it looks like an X300SE, but i've never seen one with DMS59 connectivity (that's not a standard DVI connector on it). My guess would be a FireMV 2200 - a workstation card. The connector fits and the PCB layout seems right (although I haven't seen one in green before).

i was thinking it was an OEM card, an OEM 8960 that they made up with an ATI chip[FONT=Arial, sans-serif][SIZE=+2][/SIZE][/FONT]

looks ancient to me, like series 7

On further inspection with the little glimpses seen at Ebay the differerence in the layout between rules out the X300SE while the closest match to the image seen at Ebay is http://ati.pricegrabber.com/info_picture.php?masterid=4159822 with the exception of being red instead of green.

if you can find out what dell it was from, then that will be another good place to start.
