Difference between X-24 and 200SB
16.09.04 at 08:48:02

I was checking my my two X-24 cards, when I realized that they aren't exactly the same.
One of it has some more connectors that the other hasn't.
Beside the second voodoo module are two more connectors, I guess it's for a VGA module. Right beside the pins above the bios are two more pin rows. And finally behind the VGA output are to more interfaces.
So, is one of it a 200SB? Where are the differences between both cards?

Same thing happened to me- Falconfly I think mentioned that they were the same PCB and I took a look at mine and low and behold there it was.

AFAIK, the SB200 can take a 2D VGA Module onto these Connectors to make it an independent, stand-alone Card (never seen one of those, however).
