Voodoo4 4500 PCI BIOS
12.12.04 at 17:03:10
 
It looks like the last BIOS for this card is the 1.15. Am I right? Once I flash the BIOS to this one, will it remains like that even if I uninstall or remove the card, or do I need to flash it every time I "manipulate" the card?

Anybody knows where I can get the fixes and improvements of the 1.15 (as I can only find until the 1.06)?

I don't know what BIOS I had before, I just thought: "Waouh time to mess around with BIOS, yummi!" And I flashed to 1.15 (flawlessly). Yes, I also flash motherboard just like I turn my tv on... I love that... exciting... you never know your pc's never gonna work anymore  Grin

Well... ROM... read only memory... RAM... huh... well... dunno... maybe "Rwuaf and Miaouh"? No I dunno it...

Well come on I mean computers are just pieces of steel and plastic. Real things do matter more, in my opinion. But you're right, flashing my mobo and my card could've been dangerous... for them, not for me.

I really don't know the meaning of RAM. Could you tell me?

Flashing your (newer) motherboad has become quite an easy task. But when ever I've done a 3dfx card I can feel the adrenalin coursing through my veins. It's kind of like bidding on ebay at the last moment. What a rush Shocked
