Old ICE FX Board at DVinfo.net

I found someone selling an old ICE acceleration processor board (PCI) for cheap. We've have After Effects 7. Will that board still accelerate renders, plug-ins, or is it obsolete technology? Seems like I remember something about plug-ins had to be written in ICE-native format, but I'm not sure.

Just checkng.

Out of date.

If it's more than $1k you could put together a neat little render farm for less, and accelerate all your effects.

Thanks Conor. For $150 I had a sneaking suspicion that it was out of date.
