Is this a card you own yourself, or images you got sent by someone else?? As far as I know there's only 1 4500 with 64MB and that was done by one of our members by soldering some extra ram onto the board.

I kind of remember the screen shots from the 4500 upgrade here and if I remember right, had a different language pack installed other then these. I could be completely wrong on that, I'm getting old but...

Is it possible to upload also pictures with the whole card, front and back, please?One picture with the entire Voodoo4 front plus one with the back-side would be of great help to solve the mistery with this indeed stange board. Without pics with the board itself cannot tell if it is real or a BIOS hoax...
The HY57V653220B memory modules are of the type: 2Mx32bit, that is 8Mb so 8 of them are necesary to count for a total of 64Mb. I knew of only 4 spots for soldering RAM chips onto regular Voodoo PCI PCB. Does the card also have memory modules on the back-side?
How many RAM chips does it have in total and where are they located?

Reply #10 - 27.04.07 at 12:08:13 well, if I remember correctly, there is a Voodoo 4 4500 that has place 4 8 chips, wasn't TM30 the one that made it a 64MB part?? Could always be that he purchased the card from someone who had pulled off the same trick.

The AGP board has extra spots, the PCI board does not.

Reply #12 - 27.04.07 at 13:16:01 Dont get me wrong, but the card looks just like a regular V4-PCI. @ Komponent I uploaded the front and back pictures to imageshack, just in case you still have problems opening them : http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/2033/20074271835995243dw1.jpg http://img366.imageshack.us/img366/4894/20074271842324535rg8.jpg
