Hello all, i got similar doubts here.. I have a vlb vga and IO card, can i place the vga anywhere? do she loose performance? If i change my dx2-66 to a Dx2-80 fsb 40, will be stable with both cards? Should vga with fsb 40 be at slot 1? Thank you

Exacty like this one. AZT3310, rebranded Samsung KS0164. AZT3320 is the rebranded KS0164 (using AZT3321 sample ROM chip), both are 100pin chip rather than the huge 160pin one that is AZT3310 (alongside AZT3311 sample ROM). Both AZT3320 and KS0164 are found on identical PCBs. AZT3310 is interesting …

If you already replaced the capacitors, you may add well try reflowing the connectors. I found cracks in the solder connections for the output jacks on several of my synthesizers when I last inspected them for refurbishment. It's possible that there are cracks but they aren't visible to the naked …
