I don't think it's an nVidia BIOS. Just an 3dfx BIOS which has been altered. This way it's even possible to let your 486 boot up as an Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon64 X2 Wink

okay, so it is basicly a Voodoo3 2000 with an AGP x4 connector which only runs @ AGP x2 3.3Volt but with a modified GeForce MX 200 32MB Bios, now this is Wierd!.

Here's the funny part, how on earth can they mod a bios while showing the doubled amount of ram ???

Did the Chinese lads apply a GF2MX 200 Bios chip on the card?

Not with a modified GeForce MX200 BIOS but with a modified 3dfx Voodoo3 BIOS

Just modify the text. They either deleted/skipped the whole "RAM counting" and just manually wrote 32MB RAM of they used the existing RAM counter and editted the calculations. (Like $Ramcount = $Ramcount * 2 or something).

Displaying the wrong amount of RAM is as easy as editting the text 'GeForce' into 'Bananasplit' or something Tongue

No, just a 3dfx BIOS
