It's a 8 MB card, but it is upgradeable to 12 MB :)

And I think it's a Procomp G111, which you can find in my collection too:

That is unusual - my ProComp G111 has 12 MB, all soldered down.

At the backside of the package is written "8 MB DRAM (Upgradable to 12 MB)" so I think this is related to these cards with the sockets at the backside.

hmm no 6Meg card look at the ram layout in the bottom right corner :) they are placed horrizontally and not vertically like on the 6Meg V2s ;) so hey maybe another proto2 V2 we haven't seen yet or just didn't relize about. :)

here that 8 or 12 Meg V2 on the back of that box:

and here the 6 meg V2:

6 Meg V2's are also blank from thier backsides :)

And the 6Meg V2 is indeedly placed on the Creative 3D Blaster Voodoo2 boxes :)

But yeah you may be right that it is another layout :) hehe who knows hay

Oh something else, I just came across this nice tech demo based for Voodoo2 :)
