        He is talking about the two rows of 20 or so pins sticking up from the board to the left of the fan..

              I've always suspected it was used for testing by the manufacturer --- but I honestly don't know:(

                      Actually you see them being used when fitted with VIVO daughter cards. ;)

                        Exactly. But not all of the pin outs like that on video cards are used in that way. Way back in the day when Voodoo II cards were the thing to buy, they had a similar pinout which could be used to link a couple Voodoo II cards in parallel, in doing so getting greater 3D performance, etc... :D
