Glad to see this thread existed

Needed some V4 4500 PCI MAC bios for PC so I could use the DVI output. Works like a dream. Big thanks!

In that case best of luck to you and god speed.  I know what it is like to have a v6k that has issues and going to extreme lengths to get it back to a functional state. I had a 2600A2 that needed some fixing and the hint chip needed to be replaced to bring it back to life.  

I have a spare EPOX 8K3A+ that I can sell you for testing.  It has been known to be an extremely compatible and solid board for our beloved V56K's.  Or depedning on your location I should just send it to you for testing...

+1 FUNCTIONAL V6K

07/11/2010 - Bought card from Keatah from here (3dfxzone.it)
09/27/2010 - Had IPC certified college instructor John Gammell at Dakota County Technical College remove CR4, replacing missing C79, and add through-hold power terminals.
04/08/2011 - Had Altron Inc. replace the HiNT HB1-SE66 chip on the card.  http://www.altronmfg.com/BGA_assembly.aspx

I am amazed that the card works. Jaw status = dropped.

With the Voodoo2 8MB cards you get 4MB for the frame buffer and 4MB for texture memory.  (8MB total memory)



A 12MB Voodoo2 has 4MB for the frame buffer and 8MB for texture memory. (12MB total memory)  The only difference between the 8MB version and the 12MB version is the amount of memory for the textures, both versions have 4MB for frame buffer)



In my screenshot below I had two 12MB V2's in SLI, and you can see I have 8MB of frame buffer memory (4MB + 4MB) and 16MB of Total Texture Memory (8MB + 8MB).  These numbers do make things a bit different, but now you see where the "24MB of Voodoo2 SLI Power" comes from. (8MB+16MB = 24MB)



Hope that helps a bit, I know I had the same questions some time ago.

That's about the going rate and what I would have expected.  Enjoy

Where do you live and what price did you have in mind?

I have some for sale but it might not be worth it depending on shipping costs...

It's not allowed to post e-bay links here - i'm sorry.
I have the v5-6000 located on e-bay in germany.

I don't see the forum rules stating anything about eBay links... I just posted the item number as I have seen comments about eBay links and breaking the rules, which I think is pretty absurd.

Item# 160507936746

Thanks man, both for the congrats and pointing this wonderful card out to me.  And thank you Keatah for hooking me up with this thing of beauty.  It is unconfirmed functional however, it needs capacitor C79 replaced (once I find out it's value) and internal power hookup done.  E-Tag reads that it's good, so I will have my fingers crossed after the repairs have been made.

Hope this helps

I am Brendan, TM30 is 107489129...

Brendan (9:51 AM):so whats up with the lunchbox?
107489129 (10:01 AM):he messed up. he wanted to cancel his bids...
107489129 (10:02 AM):now we are at 60 euros.  please dont bid on it again. it would be very confusing.
107489129 (10:09 AM): or what do you think?
Brendan (10:51 AM): should i bid now or wait until the end?
Brendan (10:52 AM): because I would pay more than 60 Eur for it
107489129 (11:02 AM): excuse me, but this is sick. bid, withdraw, bid... really not good.
107489129 (11:03 AM): your fault was to withdraw your bid and now you should not bid again on it. thats really unfair to exxe
Brendan (11:05 AM): its unfair to change his mind. my 90 stands.
actually, my 80 should be the highest.
107489129 (11:06 AM): exxe would have paid 100 euros. but YOU DON'T. so do not bid on it again.
Brendan (11:06 AM): I would have payed 90. thats what I bid.
107489129(11:06 AM): thats sicko.you did withdraw your bid and now you bid again.?!?!?!?
Brendan (11:06 AM): after he bid higher...
Brendan (11:07 AM): the current bid should be 91.
because I WAS/AM willing to pay 90 for it it really is simple
107489129 (11:08 AM): no. bad luck for you. just THINK beforce you bid. and not start a bid war and then withdraw
Brendan (11:08 AM):
"107489129 (10:01 AM):
he messed up. he wanted to cancel his bids...."
i did not mess up. he did.
107489129 (11:08 AM): you too because you was first in canceling
Brendan (11:09 AM): that does not make sense.
107489129 (11:09 AM): your bidding also doesnt...
Brendan (11:09 AM): We both bid it up to 91. thats normal. but then when I say I wont go any higher... it drops to 60?
107489129 (11:10 AM): that is not your problem. its mine.
Brendan (11:10 AM): so why can't my bid of 90 be legit?
107489129 (11:13 AM): its simply absurd.
Brendan (11:13 AM): why? too much?
107489129 (11:13 AM): you had your chance and now its gone.
107489129(11:14 AM): next time better think first before withdrawing.
Brendan (11:14 AM): there is a difference from withdrawing, and stopping bidding for the time being
Brendan (11:15 AM): I clearly said in my message "getting too rich for my blood... hehe  im out on the lunchbox "  that means that I didnt bid higher, not that my bids are canceled.
Brendan (11:16 AM): "im out" means I am leaving.  It does not means my bids left with me.
107489129 (11:16 AM): okay so exxe has to pay 91 euro and all is fine.
and you are outbid.
break.
Brendan (11:16 AM): I have a week to change my mind. I even told you that I might think about it more...
107489129 (11:18 AM): no. not after all that.

Seeing the above... my bid on the 3dfx hat is now also retracted.  I do not want to do business with someone of this nature.

The card pictured above is the card from an auction I won.  Below is a picture of the card after I received it and cleaned it [ it was full of smoker scum ] Now it's clean.  Feels good to save a 3dfx card from a sh*tty home.



Date is nothing special 2100..  but it still rocks.
