This is the 256MB 128-bit DDR Asylum version (model ASLM52256), not a cheap 64-bit card. BFG advertised it as over 10% faster than a standard FX 5200. Great card for period-correct Windows 98 / ME / 2000 / XP machines, Socket 478 Pentium 4 boards, Socket A Athlon XP boards, or any other system that still has a working AGP slot.
What you get

• Card, driver CD, and original software bundle (NVDVD 2.0 multimedia software and related extras per the box)

Condition Brand new, factory sealed, never opened. Shrink wrap is original and intact. The wrap shows some scuffs, wrinkles, and storage marks from sitting for 20+ years — that is normal for NOS from this era. Box itself is in good shape for its age.
