Title: PCB numbers and Identification.
Post by oldskool on 03.04.10 at 13:27:55

Are there any guides anywhere to help with identification and deciphering of PCB numbers. Or any listings of relevent numbers for card revision number and there rarity, so I can tell if sellers on ebay are talking rubbish or not. For example V 5500 PCI rev A1 week 29 2000 uber rare.

Here is a good start - http://www.3dfx.cz/articles/rev.htm

It's missing some, but overall is pretty good. I havent found another of my 4500 PCI w/ the date of 3600.

He thanks, so theres no such thing as a rare rev A1 5500pci because they where all rev A1. According to the table I have the wrong memory on mine :)
