Hercules (3D Prophet) 9800se AIW...

So,
I got this nice piece of hardware and was just wondering what else I could do with it besides 3D/TV/Video-in/TV-out...

there are some connectors on top of the card which don't seem to have a use and since the handbook was very thin almost to the point of nonexistance and even on ati.com there was not a whole lot of useful info, maybe somebody here knows what else one can do with it..

I would be interested especially in a temperature read-out feature since I tweaked the card from 9800se to 9800pro (thx to Omega & Samsung) or anything else that can be done to enhance the usability/value...

Any ideas/suggestions/experience to share?

Thx

Lol, that's not enough? Well, it can do 2D also just kidding

No that's really everything. There's no temp monitoring capability, that only exists on XT chips.


Ah, in case you didn't know, you can use the TV tuner for pausing live TV and recording shows, like a Tivo. But I'm guessing you know that.

Thanks so far

maybe somebody knows the location for a real manual or some more tweak / feature utilities ...

P.S.: How would one go about additional cooling, say to enable OCing and such..?

PPS: Oh yes I almost forgot: this is a real challenge for me: I want to be able to use the TV-out for viewing a movie on my telly, and at the same time be able to work on my normal desktop monitor with normal resolution & frequency. I run Win98se on a A7NVX-X MoBo with a 2600 Athlon;
So far I couldn't get it to work with extended desktop. There is a tool that comes with Hydravision that lets me transport applications one by one to the extended desktop, but for some reason my videoplayer (bsplayer) freezes as soon as I load the .avi... I even tried it with the ati-player and the mediaplayer. I am starting to think that maybe it's Win98se...
Any ideas on that one? - I know there is a lot of freaks roaming this board so maybe you've had a similar situation...?!

Greets & thx
