i find a stb v4 4500 agp as normal one with 32m memory on board.

but there is one memory make me puzzled.

three memories are samsung tc-60 and the left is samsung tc-54...why it is ? is it a repaired one or it is normal from factroy?

it is very strange to find a different speed memory on one card though we can see some same memories with different weekly time..

should i catch it??? ???

I have some cards with different RAM-speeds but usually they don't have 3 modules of one speed and one of another but 2 and 2 or 2 and 4 (I have a Voodoo 2 with sixteen 83-MHz-modules and eight 100-MHz-modules).

If you look out for such special cards it's nice to have one with such a combination but as the speed is determined by the slowest module (6 ns = 166 MHz) it's not special in terms of speed.

probably the 6ns RAM got out of stock just in this moment where your 4500 was produced, and than they used the 5,4NS RAM...


so go on, catch it, if its not to expensive!

in most cases, the ram is the limiting factor!!!


but chances are small. You can put an extreme cooling on it (like a vapochill) and make a vmod  Grin

by the way, i have a vapochill at home, and i would try it out... on a voodoo 3 and so on, but i dunno how no fit it on a gpu Sad it has only a mounting kit for socket A processors...
