NVidia Quadro FX 5500 and others - your experience?

[Goodmaneuver]

Quadro FX5500 works without any problems with my ECS K8T890-A but would not install with 2 other AMD motherboards I tried as I believe that the PCI bus throughput width needs to be in proper condition. The install problem was a resource conflict indicting a hardware issue. The other boards had trouble with with just playing a low resolution video with other video cards with Pot Player but they are a lot better now after exercising them. See pictures for details about the K8T890 socket 939 machine. The 82.69 drivers indicate the 1GB memory but the card is unknown and therefore defaults are displayed.

The "patched" NVidia driver lists them, and for the FX 5500, i can imagine it may work, as it uses the G71 chip, which is i.e. the NVidia 7900GTX (which works well, i have two of them).

On Wikipedia, it is listed as 1024MB memory DDR2, but i can find PNY models listed with 1GB DDR3, which would be great for Dual-Boot (with XP and/or W10) scenarios with just one GPU, as there is a supported driver for Windows 8 64bit, which works well for Windows 10 64bit.

 

Just installed my Quadro FX 5500 and found the last Win 8.1 drivers, 309.08,do NOT work properly in Win10 x64 BUT I think there may be a version of Windows 10 where MS changed something so I am asking if ANYONE knows when that would be?I'm using LTSC 2021 Win10 but would happily use LTSC 2019 Win10 if it works with this card. The idea of a machine I can run W98-2k-XP-10 on would be great, I can boot to 10 when I need to use internet (reasonably safely!) but otherwise use old OS
