so if i can provide the cards which have the 16mb chips, i would have to pay both shippings + 15 Euros for the work?

so you can take SDRAM from SDRAM sticks? or they have to come from video cards?

Nope, you need TSOP86 RAM chips. 86 stands for the amount of pins!

AFAIK very few VGA used these kind of RAM chips in the past, the napalm 3dfx cards, the Kyro2 cards and some elusive ASUS/Geforce cards with very fast SDRAM. Dunno if there are others possible donors, but they must be unknown at the moment.

I have 2 Kyro II cards with 5ns ram if I remember correctly,'both are 64MB cards

will have a look tonight and let ya guys know.

weren't there some geforce2 MX models that used that same sort of ram?

So, say I do have the Kyro II and I would ask you to mod my 5500MAC with the ram from the KyroII, resulting in still 64MB, but faster ram, able to run 200Mhz, how much would that cost me?

I would pay for shipping of the cards both ways and would supply all the materials needed, except for soldering stuff.......how much would that cost me?

So they could be used as well...I checked, only 1 left I think, couldn't find the 2nd one

Check the card for shorts.

In the meanwhile post PCB date code of both working and not working Voodoo4. Better would be some hi-res shots of the work you done on both cards.

I meant the whole board, hi-res front and back, so we can check for shorts.
