Mods for the Voodoo 4500 AGP?
24.04.16 at 11:46:24
 
i've seen a Voodoo 4500 AGP up for sale on Ebay lately, and it seem to have some mods, like:
-64mb memory
-DVI connector + Digital chip on it

The guy wasn't able to find a bracket to fit on it i think.

I know i would have to flash another BIOS on it if i do make the mod...

But i would ask someone who make mods for consoles, so i know he's great at soldering chips with tiny little legs.

Now...i believe i have the required hardware here:
-Asus V7100Pro/64M (T), which is a Geforce 4 MX 400 64mb (8 x 8mb EliteMT LP12L64322EB, -4.5T, 0122S, A3S54AB)
-Silicone Image SIL154CT64, CC8637.0AAC, 0023, 0.0 (found on a Number Nine AGP 16mb card with only a DVI-I connector on it)

What do you think?

The seller is nice person. He's on this forum and tried to sell that card in the for sale section.
Maybe he could tell you exactly what he used?

i would prefer for someone to tell me if those could be used for it.
I'm pretty sure it's not limited to those chips he used.
