I've been sorting my circuit boards, and I've gotten down to the last few I can't quite figure out what they would be graded as. Any assistance would be appreciated!

This is a lot all at once and easy for people to put off replying due to the number of boards to look at. Lost has provided guidelines for posting you may want to read through. viewtopic.php?f=4&t=19156

The diamond video card depends on the other side as is would be peripheral but if enough on the other side may elevate to gfc

IDK if its the 4th but its in the top 10 for sure. Funny thing, the CT3670 model of the sound blaster 32 was better in every way, cheaper, easier to find and with ram did everything the awe32 did and more. It even has a SB64 chip on it with DSP 4.16 and on board ram making it a true SB64 and the only one with simm slots and not the dumb ram card. But everyone seems to forget that card.
