The source patience

well i just had a re-format done [stupid windows update crashed my entire registry and file allocation tables.. ARGH] so i had to retrieve my password.

I tried to use the "retrieve password" thing, and i *still* haven't got an email

I got your email but i didn't get the one from the forums.. lol.. need to stop using that hotmail account


luckily i found my 'welcome to 3dfx archive' email, good thing that hotmail keeps an archive 

well just got back in town and no email yet so i will contact them monday on the phone, patience what is the #'s for the replacement ram if any, do you know? just in case we need another source

Ain't the biggest problem with a V5 that there is no real place on the circuitboard to place the new memories? A v4 clearly has some free spaces that were meant to be used fr memory but on a V5 you have to either change the existing Memory or fuix a extra circuitboard and connect it in some weird way to the v5... or - am I wrong?

If a v4/v5 costs 35$ in Germany - why the hell doesn't I buy all the stuff they have and then earns money like hell... Well, I could but I think its a too big risk. I am not used to Ebay and such yet and doesn't have confident as I have said. Also I am underaged (17) and I think that doesn't make things better...

But you FalconFly - doesn't you Germans love to have your vacations here in Sweden? (Looking at the mooses and soo ) You could then buy the stuff for yourself here. I live in the south of Sweden soo if you are lucky you could even come here in a daytrip. That means if you live in the north of Germany

lol, actually never been in Sweden, but if I ever do, I'll for sure check it out

I also think a 128MB Voodoo5 Project would be by far the most difficult. Not impossible but very difficult.

ok lets not give up here people, well i called them up and found that they do not sell just the ram, only the whole module, so off to frys ill go to see if there memory has those ram chips on it, if it does that would mean taking it off of there also, but hey nothing good ever comes easy

well i tried to tell them but the people i got in contact with told me they could not help because they only sell the ram on the module, they told me to try frys(there biggest retail account) to see if the ram we needed was on a module, in other words the person i got wasnt gonna help at all, so im gonna goto frys and see what the deal is, also im wondering if that ram came stock on any other video card manufacter cards, might be an option, it would have to be either an old card or a cheap one
