I'm building a V2 rig for dos glide titles (hopefully it will work properly, or I'll need to get a V1, I've heard conflicting reports about that), but would like to be able to max the resolution out.

Did any of the DOS Glide titles run at resolutions above 800x600?

Alright, this is just weird.

I went on the bay recently and found some STB Black Magic V2's brand new, with oem packaging. They were supposed to be 12mb versions. I snagged three of them (everybody needs a spare right)?

They have ram chips on both the front and back of the card, and the card is marked C 1998 STB systems.

Looking at pictures at FalconFly, the 3dfx cards (which were 8mb), are marked c 1999, not 1998. I've got two competing skus though (an 8 mb and a 12 mb sku).

Do I have some sort of weird transitional card here?

Can anyone tell me exactly what I'm dealing with here, I've got maybe 12 hours to make a decision to keep them or send them back.
