I sold off a 12mb STB Voodoo 2 a while back and the buyer reports texture corruption in Quake 2 and Shipwreckers. Card was fine last I checked but that was 6 months ago and there is shipping that can end up doing all kinds of damage but the errors he describes sound like bad ram..
Here is how it looks when the card is installed in his 430VX Pentium 200MMX, the card is installed in the topmost PCI slot.

Is this a bad RAM chip? Bad TMU? I have a lot of (about a dozen) 100mhz 256kx16 edo ram chips to attempt a repair but I have no idea how to identify which chip or cluster went bad. Can anyone help?
