Info on a video card... and an old processor.

[J]

Hello people. Need help. It's about an Elsa GLoria Synergy 8 video card... I had one on my old pc (really old pc) and need some info about it. Somebody is willing to give me $150 for it and I want to know why the guy is willing to pay that for a pci card. If it's that good, won't sell it... need help. What the hell is an Elsa anyway?

A side note. Need Info on the Pentium -S. What the "S" actually means?

Well...I investigated a bit...it is supposed to be used for CAD... Gannondorf, or Magus... anybody....please help! What is this thing?

hehe my old graphics card friend, elsa...that gfx card is specialized CAD adapter, it has 3DLabs Permedia II graphics processor on it, and up to 8 megs SGRAM. it was one of top-of-the-line graphics cards in it's age, but it's little outdated now if you want some serious games. therefore if you dont do CAD, $150 is nice amount to have beside you

pentium-s is just the mark of normal pentium processor of the first pentium generations. i dont exacly know what the (s) stands for, but there are pentium-od, and pentium-mmx (overdrive, multimedia extensions) from the same series of processors.

Hey...thanks. Made an research on the card...it is priced @ $300... but I don't work wih computer aided design (first I'm gonna test it with Quake 3)... so it is better if I sell it. About the processor...somebody told me that the "s" stands for server (?)...anyway, thanks. You get my vote.

You could sell it and easily buy a Geforce or Radeon with the money. That would be a good idea if you want your card strictly to have gaming power.

By the way, you are the first guy (Galcian) I have seen use that avatar of Dracula. That is one I created a long time ago and it was always my favorite. Thanks!

Well Magus...I selected it because honestly... it looks cool. You made it? You get my vote.
