Title: Voodoo BIOS - AGP or PCI???
Post by Chosen_One on 12.12.04 at 13:33:54

well...i have many bios from v3 1k till v5 6k! especially the v3 bios confuse me! where can i see if its an AGP or PCI bios? i only can divide them into SG-RAM and SD-RAM but not in AGP/PCI!
even in the tdfx bioseditor i have no clue about this!

any ideas?

does it matter if its agp or pci? i mean can you flash any SD-RAM on your v3 2000 pci? of course not a sg-ram bios but does it matter which sd-ram bios you flash?

I have been told some time ago that it does not matter between AGP and PCI on the V3 But it is important to flash the correct memory SD vs. SG. I always tried to stay with the one that was correct on both accounts. Just the newest version, as I did not want people to think I hack a V3 2000 to a V3 3000 which it is definiately possible to do. If I wanted the 2K to perform like a 3K, I just install the OC utility and crank it up to 166MHz. For best results, add a 486 or chipset fan to the passive heatsink ;)
