Yes I wanted to open it up out of curiosity to confirm my suspicions about the content. And I'm glad I did because it looks like I was wrong and the label fooled me by the mention of AT25. Inside as you can see bellow is a Hercules AT3D 6Mb Dual Planar with a CD that is dated 1999. So I guess Hercules still had a lot of these cards in stock and decided to sell them off cheaply in a time when V3s were entering the market.

Very nice trio you got there. I'd recommend a heat sink for the Hint bridge on the card you use regularly. It's helps keep it cool and would look nice if you find one just the right size.

Wow those are some very nice/rare boards G1nX. Simply excellent, something that is not seen very often. Wink

A heatsink on my main V6K definitely would not hurt, but they run really cool as is so I am not too worried about it. I only use the very compatible Epox 8K3A+, so that also makes me feel safe. Cool

Thanks they are nice but for collection purposes only as I can't say I plan to test or use them in any way in the future.
A V6k is more appealing for testing/using/collecting for most people.
Regarding the Hint bridge cooling the small heat-sink found on Matrox G400 Max type cards should fit nicely and as you said it won't hurt
