I was thinking I could have an Ati 9550 commit harakiri in order to save a much more valuable card that has memory artifacts (allegedly) (I'll let you guess which card it is).

Both cards use 8 SDRAM DDR TSOPII-66 chips for a grand total of 128mb @128 bit. Same voltage, timings and frequencies (in fact the destination card needs less mhz than the 9550).

Brands do not match however. The donor is Samsung, but the original memories were EtronTech.

Datasheets are very similar AFAICT but I know nothing about electronics. Only brand differs.
"All inputs and outputs are compatible with SSTL_2 interface" the datasheet say.

Would this be possible?

If yes, is it ok to find a donor card with better timings, because why not?

Thanks!

Edit: donor is actually a 9600. Not a big difference I imagine.

Edit2: VDD and VDDQ must match exactly?

Edit3: so this is kinda hard, but I found some memories that have same frequencies, timing, voltages (vdd vddq), packaging (TSOPII66) and amount of chips (8x16mb). will it work?
