I knew those gf4 mx ram chips where the right ones  Tongue.
If I get myself a V5 AGP I will also mod it to a 128mb one. But first I will need to find 2 gf4 mx 420.
Can you e-mail me the V5 BIOS Denis. Maybe I can help.

Creative 3D Blaster GeForce4 MX420

http://www.ferra.ru/online/multimedia/16460/

And especially for the Dutch:

Grin

Review from Guru3D:
http://www.guru3d.com/review/creative/geforce4mx420/index3.shtml

Unfortunately it's still 6ns Cry

No wait, according to this they also used 5ns Cheesy
http://www.digit-life.com/articles/creatgf4/

Okay, I'm stumped here.
The Geforce4 MX420 has a 128bit bus and 8 chips.
The VSA-100 has a 128bit bus but only 4 chips.

Dennis, maybe that's the reason the why it won't work properly?

Hmm, according to my calculations those chips are only 4Mx16 which comes down to 8MB. I'm confused. I'll wait for an answer from Dennis.

Most of the retail gf4mx420 were 8chip based, but there are a few companies who bought half-size oem versions from nvidia [look at pics of a radeon 9200se if you don't know what i mean].

and i have two of those =]
bought them for less than 20$. [locally]

btw, as far as ram speed goes - the vsa100 isn't very scaleable when it comes to core/clock speeds.
remember my 4500'turbo' that did 210mhz?
bearly any speed increase from the stock 166mhz.

@3Dfx_Tweaker
Sure, once i get my desktop pc up n' running.

though, the more i think of it, the more i feel that the drivers handle SLI memory allocation.
[hinted by the fact that if SLI is disabled, the first chip operates with full 64mb capacity]

all this hard work.. argh... it better be worth it..
if at the end i'ma get a 100 point increase in 3dm01, i'm gonna throw this thing out the window.

If it is a software thing, I am sure that some vsa100 specialized programmer can help you.

Yes it can.
If you have extra space for memory on your card you just need to find the same ram. If you have a card on which there are no extra places for memory, you need to replace the current memory.

Well what about a Voodoo4-2 4200 PCI / Voodoo4-2 4800 AGP  with 64MB DDR 128Bit of 256Bit, or would that be the impossible?

DeniseF,
yes, I do believe that the V5 1.18 BIOS does handle the extra ram as I did the research on this a couple or three years ago.  availablity of the ram was at issue then as now.  the V5 cards will need a "jumper" change in the form of the small resistors around the VSA100 chips as well as a couple of "blue wire mods" to add the extra address line(s) between the ram and the VSA100's.  I do not know of any revs of the physical V5 boards that have the extra address lines already installed, as I saids the BIOS looks to be able to handle the extra RAM.  I can pull my notes out and get you the ram part#'s I had come up with.........
