Has anyone seen an extra resistor on a Voodoo 2 (connected to R153) from factory or do you think someone has added it to resolve some sort of issue?

Ok thats great. Then it must be factory.

Do you have your Rev A and B in SLI? do they work together?

Yes I have and they do, even without Fastvoodoo drivers. 🥰

You have to use a flexible SLI cable, though, because the connectors are not parallel to each other.

I have two Rev A Diamond V2 cards and both have this factory mod, my guess is it was picked up by QA that a resistor was missing off the PCB and they had to mod all Rev A cards.

I have rev B (12 MB) with the resistor and rev A (8 MB) without 😁
Either way, it is definitely factory-made.

Thank you to everyone for confirming. Really appreciate that. Can’t wait to get my SLI setup going. I couldn’t afford it when I was 18 but now I get to enjoy it 😉
