Mirage Multimedia fixed frequency cards...

By complete freak chance, i came across and snagged (for free!) a Mirage
Diablo 3D card.  I didn't know what it was, and picked it up, only to
find out later what it was.  Mine, however, is AGP, so it won't help
you.

I have no clue if you can get one to work in any sun box though, so this
might not help you at all.
