Hey Exxe test the card and make a picture with your digital camera @ bootup if it states Velocity 200 then we may know for real sure 8)

Well that say's it, it is defintely a Velocity 200 AGP you can clearly see that the NOT FOR RESALE Stickers have been removed!! Gosh! why would someone do that! [no offense to you Exxe, just the seller where you got it from ;) ]
it's a Rev.A0 3599 week 35 year 1999, also the only known card from week 35, very interesting. so now the Vel200 collection gets completer by the day here are all known Vel200 cards and thier owners: Germany: Rolo01 Rev. A0 3099 TM30 Rev. A0 3299 Exxe: Rev. A0 3599 The Netherlands: Obi-Wan Kenobi: Rev. A0 2699 Spain: Osckhar Rev. A0 3899 China: Nest001: Rev.A0 3299 YfjY: Rev. A0 3299 USA: GDonovan: Rev.A0 3299 BFG3dfx[VDX]: Rev.A0 3299 well that does it I guess and make a total of 9 Velocity 200's where is the 10th one? since a batch exsists out of 10 cards right, but then again the different weeks that were used were: Week 26 Week 30 Week 32 Week 35 Week 38 5 different weeks would maybe mean 5 batches of 10 cards afterall? anywabody ever thought of that? |

maybe that Velocity 200 has been flashed with a wrong Bios, since I know some oher Vel200 users have have the card with a V3 2000 bios sticker on it's Bios chip and they all boot up with Bios Velocity 200.
So maybe it has been flashed with the Voodoo 3 2000 LC Bios , though in a certain way it does not prompt properly. |
