Hmm...good point amp! Wink

It would be sorta' like a Voodoo 1.5 actually! Tongue

Since there are TWO TMU's and TWO FBI's, whereas a Voodoo 2 would only have one FBI... Roll Eyes

(and for all the morons out there on the net, this has NOTHING to do with the FBI! FBI = Frame Buffer Interface) Roll Eyes Tongue


You must mean 2.5  Grin But also, when you consider the real-world conditions, the actual benefits of SLI are somewhat bogged-down, on both the V2 and the V5. Also, the FBI, if I'm correct, normally doesn't do as much work as the TMUs, so only having a single FBI vs. two wouldn't be a huge performance increase. I think this project is simply not worth the time, unless you have it, but I know I could be doing much better things (especially considering the cost of a couple V2s nowadays, and the better driver support).

He I scanned my voodoo2 board yesterday.
But to really track every line in the board you have to take the chips of it. But I can say that they are heading for the Ramdac, and 2 or 3 ar going to the FBI.

Wel, I can find a dead V2. But mainly we need to now what exactly every pin of a FBI chip and the ramdac chip does. If we know that it won't be that hard.
