This is assuming a similar motherboard layout to mine. What's that like?
I've got a video card that is 14" long. PCI. It can't fit in this machine.
I have to use a 9" Diamond FireGL 1000 Pro with a modified heatsink on
it's MOSFET. Why? Because the CPU is right behind the PCI slots, without
even an inch of clearance. I can't put a bigger heatsink on. Then I'd have
to buy a new video card.
>From my experience, you need a ~3/4" (or ~3.5cm) tall anodized heatsink,
with a thermostatic fan to properly cool a processor running like that.
Ah well, better than the box at work. It was sold as a P200MMX, it's
really an overclocked P166MMX without a heatsink even. And they won't let
me fix this, even though the machine is overheating and crashing
constantly. *grumble*
