While I was look'n around I came across this odd Voodoo2:
look at the ram layout and the SLI connector it looks alot like it's 6MB variant but it has more ram. |

The picture looks like a promotional photo of Orchid Righteous 3D II. It is quite typical for vendors to use some odd revisions for these photos as they should be made public before the stock model come to market. For example, if you look at Creative Voodoo 2 box and a picture of the card on its back you'll notice a big nice Creative logo printed on card PCB.

My vote would be a 12 MB card with all the PFI ram on one side.

Gary What is PFI memory for and how much KB's would that be?
A. 1024KB [4x 256KB] ? B. 2048KB [4x 512KB] ? C. 4096KB [4x 1024KB] ? And would this PFI ram add to the full 12MB of the card it's self? |

Count the chips, half meg each.

well if each chip is 2x 512KB I read 8MB total on the whole card unless they is ram on the back of the PCB hehe.

I suspect it is a 12 mb card due to the PFI buffer size.
