@osckhar: The card pictured above being modded to 256Mb are you doing it for G1nx?

I can confirm that the 256Mb modding Oscar is doing on my card. I wanted a 128Mb card but if the opportunity with higher capacity memory modules presented itself we said let's try it out

I'm looking forward to see the finished card as well so thank you Oscar for you great work so far.

Very busy week between my personal job, family... so, few time free for working in mods. Sad

I have had some problems soldering the wires to pin/pads memory but at the end I found the manner to do it (first time I have done this kind of work). If everything goes well tomorrow mod will be ended! Cheesy

I keep you informed.

Best regards,
Oscar.

At the moment we already have a fully 128Mb V5 PCI MAC. I still did not try any other strapping set. Card is 100% functional. Here some pics. Tomorrow more pics. Not good light here today. Regards, Oscar.

Great to see the card working with 128Mb of memory capacity. Looking forward to the next step of the modding.

Keep up the good work.

Hi,

I am using a EPOX 8K5A2+ under Win98SE reference driver and card works perfect.

I wanted to see if really is added the extra ram. I tried Quake3 4xFSAA 1280x1024 and without problems. A normal V5 cant handle it.

Quake 3 did not take advantage from the extra ram since with 128/64Mb card I got same FPS. @Radu, can you confirm it?

Best regards,
Oscar.

Nope, the problem is the PIN21 has not track and therefore not VIAS. Regards, Oscar.

About 256Mb project- At the moment not luck. This afternoon I tried all the combination possible and I got 8/16/32/64/128Mb but not 256Mb. Regards, Oscar.

This means 2 chipsets with each 4 banks. The Voodoo 5 5500 only has 4 banks per VSA100.
