I have an ATI Mach64 VLB graphics card. The silkscreen indicates that it is part number 109-27800-10, while the sticker on the back indicates part number 1022780511 502035.
Does anyone know if:
a) it is possible to transform this 2 MB card into a 4 MB card?
b) if yes to the above, which components would need to be added or swapped out, that is, aside from the SOJ-40 FPM ?
I'm attaching some photos.
I'm also attaching the RAMDAC's partial datasheet, which seems to indicate that 1280x1024x65K is not possible, so a RAMDAC swap might also be required.
Many thanks!
EDIT:
The PCB has pads for a larger RAMDAC, PLCC-68. The ATT20C408 datasheet states that it can do 1280x1024 x16bit, non-interlaced. So if the pinouts match up, this RAMDAC may be a suitable candidate for the upgrade.
