someone at 3dcenter claims he has a VSA101 based V5 5500 because he can reach 200Mhz without mods and no special cooling. He says the coolers of the card stay cool, the backside too... when i touch the backside of one of my 5500 running at 192Mhz+ its very hot... but maybe the coolers of his card fits good and mine not... when i think of that crappy glue with sometimes "holes of air" in it...

and gary, what about that late PCB date of my 4500... is it common? do you have seen a 3900 PCB Date for a 4500 yet?

I can claim I have a 400 mhz Rampage board too with 256MB DDR ram.

If the chip is not pin compatible then Daytona on a VSA-1000 5500 PCB is impossible.

I'd have to check the PCB of a few of my 4500's, I don't recall off hand.

Word here is about the ordinary 5500(vsa-100) PCB not having VSA-101 compatible pinouts.

And afaik the VSA-101 has all of the VSA-100 features + DDR support (and possibly some other features I don't know of) so basically yes, it can work in SLI. (but on a proper VSA-101 PCB) Wink
