It's a 8 MB card, but it is upgradeable to 12 MB Smiley

And I think it's a Procomp G111, which you can find in my collection too:

That is unusual - my ProComp G111 has 12 MB, all soldered down.

At the backside of the package is written "8 MB DRAM (Upgradable to 12 MB)" so I think this is related to these cards with the sockets at the backside.

hmm no 6Meg card look at the ram layout in the bottom right corner Smiley they are placed horrizontally and not vertically like on the 6Meg V2s Wink so hey maybe another proto2 V2 we haven't seen yet or just didn't relize about. Smiley

here that 8 or 12 Meg V2 on the back of that box:
...

and here the 6 meg V2:
...

6 Meg V2's are also blank from thier backsides Smiley
...

And the 6Meg V2 is indeedly placed on the Creative 3D Blaster Voodoo2 boxes Smiley

But yeah you may be right that it is another layout Smiley hehe who knows hay
8)

Oh something else, I just came across this nice tech demo based for Voodoo2 Smiley
