35 USD for a 4 year old nvidia card?
man.. your nuts..

*hint* eBay *nudge*

and now that we have this invaluable piece of information [that the v5 has more ram slots than i thought] i'm actually thinkin that this whole thing might just work  Grin

ok so you think the memory will be ok of that card? the reason im looking at a new card is i didnt want to take the chance of some burned out memory, but i could check to see if its working first

well i am just dumb, Grin
but wouldn't it be more efficient to replace the 6ns memory with 5ns memory or is this imposible?

but i am also interrested in a v4 64MB or v5 128MB

Hi,

recently mi Voodoo4 passed away because of a stock heatsink removal (yeah, me stupid, I deserve to die), but the card itself and the memory chips remain untouched. If anyone is interested in getting 32 mb of reliable ram to make this mod, he/she can send me a message. I don't like the idea of collecting a defunct card, at least I would find a use for it.

that would be good for a v4 to 64mb upgrade i guess. on that heatsink removal, ive never had a problem and this may help you in the future, i put card in freezer in antistatic bag for about an hour, that crystlizes the glue and i pop the heat sink right off, anyways sorry to hear about your card

I think he probably damaged the core, if that's the prob - nothing you can really do

i mean.. memory mods are fun and all.. but replacing a core? out of my league sorry :p

I know what you mean@DenisF! Shocked

If someone wanted to replace a core you'd need Tongue: -

1. A replacement 'core' chip (well DUH!) Roll Eyes
2. A PCB rework station ($3000-5000!!!) Shocked
3. Patience (not our admin... Roll Eyes)
4. A LOT of skill! Roll Eyes

In other words, for the profesionally trained technician ONLY! 8)

This guy is making a fortune off us there *g*

Anyway, seems very expensive for 4 of those el-cheapo GF2MX Cards IMHO.

what do you mean Patience?   Roll Eyes   i was thinking of buying them if memory would be what is needed, as long as there is no memorey on other side it would be of right size? plus this is type card denisf already used for ram on his card right? i dont know thats why im asking in case anyone else does Undecided

I used a GF2mx for mine yeh, doesn't really matter if it's the 400 or not. [the only different thing there is the core speed]

And i used that simply cause my V4 was sporting Hyundai 6ns SDR, and the most popular card at that time that had the same exact ram was the GF2mx.
so i used that..

if whoever's voodoo5 i'll get is using Samsung/Infenion/MT ram and that whoever can find a card that's using the same exact ram, i have no problem trying the mod there.

So you shouldn't go on hunting hyundai's Smiley

btw, so far iv'e found these boards with same ram as v4/5 used;
Radeon SDR
Radeon 7200
Riva TNT2 Pro
GeForce SDR
GeForce 2 MX/400
GeForce 4 MX 420
SiS 300
SiS 315
Trident Blade XP

Although not all of the above have 64mb versions.
