This shows what type I have.

I got it a bit less than two years back, cost was right at $30. Don't really know how this stacks up to other vid cards as to game performance. I still get wavy lines on the ships rigging and their masts vary in their height, up and down like a periscope. I've made no adjustments on it, had Best Buy install it as my computer was stiil under warrenty back then.
It will run quiet until it heats up and then it hits you with the noise.
There was loads of dust in it, I took the frame apart and cleaned it out with an artists brush then gave it a blast of clean air.
I might try the oil/graphite trick. I have oil I use for my scale trains, non-petro-based and the graphite as well. With them I just transfer a bit onto the sleeve bearings with the end of a toothpick. Too much is worse than none at all, at least with them.
As to me being an "expert" I am better than average, good at presicion micro assembly applications, with a basic understanding of electronics--years back before the dawn of IC's.
Sorry I posted this in the wrong section, didn't notice.
