the sticker says

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 Wink ]

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.
