From the above link...

Andreas concluded: "Spintel is merely fixing some GDI performance failures of
some graphics cards. Thus you can only find some performance increase with
graphic intensive software. Modern software, using DirectX and thus skipping the
GDI won't benefit from the Spintel software. The card itself is nothing but a
copy protection for the Spintel software. I suggest to rather spend the money on
a new CPU, which will increase the whole system performance."

The card is a type of dongle that uses an ISA slot. Nothing to get excited
about.
