Groovy.
 
I run Detonator drivers, so I'm fine.
 
I'm just wondering if anyone knows how I can find out who exactly made this card(the retailers said they were unsure, and that they just get them in bulk OEM packages(Static bags and bubblewrap, baby!), just for my own knowledge.

check what the video bios says when booting up (video bios comes right before the system bios)

I checked for one first thing, but it doesn't show one
 
not sure if that's because of my monitor or not...it might be displaying it before my monitor is warmed up....but that wasn't the case on my 256...I saw it say Creative everytime I did a warm boot

Hey, I like this thing!
 
I went from 200MHz core clock, 333 MHz DDR RAM clock stock,
to 250MHz core and 390 MHZ DDR RAM clock OCed
 
the GeForce2 Pro is 200/400mhz. The GeForce2 Ultra is 250/460.
 
Not bad for an as-of-yet-nameless OEM board, huh?
 
For the record, there is no change in video cooling...though I am thinking about putting on a BlOrb and a some ramsinks

Hey Inferno,
 
How much did you pay, and where did you get it?

I paid 150 for it(shipped)
 
I got it off of ebay, but the package said merkur inc...so I think it's a company selling them
 
 
I can give you the email address of the guy I bought it from, maybe he can help you find more.

OP
finally found a reason to open my case again-put an extra CDRW in it(2CDRW, 1 DVD)
The damned thing weighs over 100 lbs now, I think?
Anyway, I checked on the card.
 
FCC number starts with a 180 (that's the company number)
Card said Canada Class B, so it was made in Canada
 
and above the FCC nubmer it says Waemia?
on the back, on the FCC sticker, it says I.TE Accessory
 
 
Any ideas?
