I had a discussion with someone on a Dutch forum in which we talked about the memory on Voodoo 3's.
I made the following statement;
V3 PCI versions have SDRAM
V3 AGP versions have SGRAM
Someone else stated;
Velocity's have SGRAM
Voodoo 3's have SDRAM
Now, I have reason to doubt that person's statement since there are only two Velocity's and three Voodoo 3's (not counting the 3500).
Can someone explain the situation with the SDRAM/SGRAM to me?
ASUS P4S533 | Intel Pentium 4 2,261GHz | 512MB Samsung PC2700 DDR-SDRAM | Voodoo 5 5500 AGP
well, most PCI v3s had sdram, but some rare ones had sgram, i know of two owners. as for the rest, no clue
So there really is no pattern for which cards have SDRAM and which cards have SGRAM?
ASUS P4S533 | Intel Pentium 4 2,261GHz | 512MB Samsung PC2700 DDR-SDRAM | Voodoo 5 5500 AGP
as far as i know has a Voodoo3 3000 PCI cards sgrams. ans the agp versions has sdram. but i don't think, that there is a Voodoo3 3000 AGP with Sdram or visa verca..
which on is rare?
PCI SDRAM
AGP SDRAM
PCI SGRAM
AGP SGRAM
I have a V3 1000 AGP SGRAM.

Well what you have is actually a "3dfx Velocity-100 AGP 8MB"
they run with core/mem 125Mhz Synchronised
The "3dfx Velocity-200 AGP 16MB" has also been mistaken by a "3dfx Voodoo3 2000 AGP 16MB" but it does not run with core/mem 143Mhz , it also runs like the "3dfx Velocity-100 AGP 8MB" which is: core/mem 125Mhz Synchronised.

I own V3 2000 PCI SGRAM. It is very rare indeed, so i've heard. Card has 4 memory chips , not 8 like sdram's. Of course it is 16 MB card (4x4). Faster than V3 2000 sdram AGP which I had long time ago.. Great card !
