There are some voodoo2's equiped with 110mhz edo-ram.
And more impressing is the fact that the Mercury has 125mhz Edo-ram.

But now comes the question!!!! Which cards used 110mhz??
Till now I only know about the Skywell cards having 110mhz.
And does somebody know a way how to obtain Edo-ram chips of 22ns/16ns (110mhz/125mhz). I need these Edo-dram chips for placing them on my voodoo2's. Because then I can get over 120mhz or 130 (125mhz Edo).
I am already working on a project to place 25ns/100mhz on a voodoo1 card.

Is it possible that this ram was also used on system ram chips? I have dozens of old edo dram chips running around, of various speeds (although probably closer to 33MHz, knowing my luck), and they appear to have very similar ram to my v2, although I haven't compared numbers (can't seem to find both RAM and V2 at the same time, lol)

And you see something interesting : the passive cooler.
Usually, the Maxi Gamer V2 doesn't own this cooler.

Gul. MAXi Gamer 2 has "MAXi Gamer" logo. f.x. this one:

But the 22ns card has only "3Dfx" logo.

(sorry for my English)

perer

Yup I know because I have one of m myself.
But the Guy was sure it was a Maxi Gamer2, I think he got them with the box.

You are right! There is a version of Maxi Gamer 2 (probably not "built by guillemot"). There is "3Dfx" logo instead "MAXi GAMER" logo (near the PixelFX2). I have not better picture, but it is visible enough.

This card is the MG2 with 110MHz modules. I'll add it to the list.:)

Actually I own two Maxi Gamers with heatsinks (1 brand spanking new) and one without.

1 card has 110 mhz ram and heatsink
1 card has 100 mhz ram and heatsink
1 card has 110 mhz ram and no heatsink
