Because the TMU and the FBi wherer called: BRUCE (BE) and CHUCK (CK). Do you finally have it now Tm30? You are very lucky with this card, I have never seen something like this.

hehe yeah it cannot be a voodoo graphics, i discussed in voodooalert.de already... it has 100Mhz Ram!

the card is still in delivery. when i get it i will tell you more!

i just want a confirmation here...

gdonovan do you know something about that budget voodoo 2 ? i googled but found nothing!

someone in voodooalert.de said, that the golden/yellow "pins" (do not know the right word in english) on that board indicates, that this is a prototype... is this true ? never saw a board with yellow stuff on it...

1) I have seen Q3D V1 cards with 75, 83 and 100 mhz ram

2) Never heard of a budget V2 aside from the 83 mhz Creative CE

3) Not sure it is prototype- If it was it would not have "CE" on it.

4) Interesting- The chip numbers fall between Rush and Voodoo II but it's clearly a V2 with one TMU.

Either way looks like you have one heck of a catch there! My money is on it being some sort of development kit board, the CE marking indicates something for retail sale though!
