Hi,

recently mi Voodoo4 passed away because of a stock heatsink removal (yeah, me stupid, I deserve to die), but the card itself and the memory chips remain untouched. If anyone is interested in getting 32 mb of reliable ram to make this mod, he/she can send me a message. I don't like the idea of collecting a defunct card, at least I would find a use for it.

If someone wanted to replace a core you'd need : - 1. A replacement 'core' chip (well DUH!) 2. A PCB rework station ($3000-5000!!!) 3. Patience (not our admin... ) 4. A LOT of skill! In other words, for the profesionally trained technician ONLY! 8)

I used a GF2mx for mine yeh, doesn't really matter if it's the 400 or not. [the only different thing there is the core speed]

And i used that simply cause my V4 was sporting Hyundai 6ns SDR, and the most popular card at that time that had the same exact ram was the GF2mx.
so i used that..

if whoever's voodoo5 i'll get is using Samsung/Infenion/MT ram and that whoever can find a card that's using the same exact ram, i have no problem trying the mod there.

So you shouldn't go on hunting hyundai's

btw, so far iv'e found these boards with same ram as v4/5 used;
Radeon SDR
Radeon 7200
Riva TNT2 Pro
GeForce SDR
GeForce 2 MX/400
GeForce 4 MX 420
SiS 300
SiS 315
Trident Blade XP

Although not all of the above have 64mb versions.
