Listing some of my cards soon
31.08.04 at 05:53:15

Well like subject says i'll be listing;

1x Voodoo3 1000 AGP 8mb
1x Voodoo3 3000 AGP 16mb
1x Voodoo4 4500 AGP 32mb

both v3s' were re-modded with proper cooling; the 1k was refitted with arctic alumina, and the 3k with arctic silver 5.
also note that the v4.5k is NOT a card from my modded fleet, this is a like-new card that has not been tinkered with [mainly cause re-mounting the HSF would be a b*tch, no mounting screwes/holes]

Anyway, i'll be selling those to get me a V5.5k pci to play around with, i recently got some old matrox/nvidia cards and i'm gonna give a shot at the 128mb mod if i'll get enough cash from teh sellings.

At any rate, is anyone here intrested in buying one/some of those? [or do ya`ll already have like 50 of them in your closet? Tongue

]

if not, i'll just list them the old' fashion way.. ala` ebay.

Let's say I were to give you a Voodoo 5 5500 PCI card, would you mod my v4 or v5 PCI or AGP with extra ram? Provided I pay for the ram? Hu Hu? Would ya?

@Maverick-DBZ-
Yeh i do, in that thread 'hypothetical situation' in tech talk, i posted a pic of one of my 64meg cards [the first one i made, got the same exact type of ram for it, even down to the week of making it's 100% identical Cheesy

]

And no, i'm afraid i would not accept a card from anyone yet.
cause fubaring something that i bought, is one thing.
but fubaring someone else's hardware, is a completely different thing.

@janskjaer
cheers m8! Grin

@gdonovan
they're not up for selling/trading yet m8, sorry. i wanna completely re-do their bioses with some of the features of that russian guy, and some of my own ideas, before i start selling them.

Sure, once i succeed in my 128mb mod [see the confidence? Grin

] i estimate that the costs for a new would will be around 30$ [to purchase a couple of ati/matrox/nvidia cards that have the appripriate ram]

Or if some of the people who want them, will be willing to buy together a pack of sdram chips [the minimum number they sell is 100 or so, enough for 12 mods], then the cost will be around 15~20$ per card.

..But all of that is still a in theory phase, i gotta buy a v5.5k first

How many people would you say you need? I'm willing to buy a piece of that 100 pack of ram. I'm sure voodoo5500 would be too. Wink

How much is a 100 pack of ram?

i still dont see anyone has found the right ram for sale as in new or on a video card, have you? im still very interested, i think alot of us would be willing to pay you for the mod and get the ram, someone just tell me which card or ram i need for sure because up to now i havent seen one. Sad

anyways as far as i know DenisF you seem to be our only hope Wink

@voodoo5500
"Seems rather cheap , I'm assuming just to hand solder the ram onto the board would be rather laborious. "

It is, especially since i'll have to un-solder 8 chips, and solder the new ones back.
a heck of a job, but it's doable.

"You stated in your first post you were looking for a pci version, I have two (like new) and am willing to give you one to act as a kind of "proof of concept", if your successful would you agree to modding the second one (for me) for free "
like iv'e stated, i'm not willing to take a card from anyone for free [the guilt if i kill it, will haunt me for the rest of my life Wink

], i do appriciate the thought though

And as far as the price goes, [if] i'll start mass-producing these v5.5k 128mb cards, any money that i'll take will be only for buying old ati/matrox/nvidia cards for their ram, there will be no financial gain for me in this

@Maverick-DBZ-
the price for a pack of 100 should be around 500$, maybe less maybe more.
[theoretical price based on the fact that a pc memory stick with 8 chips of 16mb costs around 25$]
But then again, i'm not sure how much do suppliers charge per-chip on such small packs of only 100 chips.

@VDX
iv'e got my dirty little hands on a few dead geforce4mx 420 cards with the right ram, they costed me less than peanuts, but as far as i can tell the ram is working

[but please, don't go on a shopping spree until i can verify that this mod actually will work, cause much more technicly-advanced people than me {namely hank} have tried this, and i haven't heard of any results as of yet, so i don't want anyone losing money here over a dream of mine]
