Hmmm I'm confused becuase unless im reading the data sheet wrong these are 4MB chips x 8 on the card for a total of 32MB's of ram. Whoops! Not sure why I thought it was a 64MB card... :facepalm: Sorry for the incorrect information. Haha no worries, just trying to get my info straight! I'm assuming …

I have the ASUS AGP-V6800DDR Deluxe/64M which should be similar to this model. Just had a closer look and mine is this one here https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/asus-v6800-deluxe.b1879 has the 3d glasses as well along with the video in/out stuff. Nabbed it in 2022 for about 125 USD which is a …

Added a (what I presume is NOS?) Revoltec Air Guard fan to my recent Celeron 300A, and moved the old two wire fan to my Pluto based Athlon 600@800MHz (resistor modded). I finally found a Gold Finger device on the "bay" for super cheap and am waiting for it to come in!! Really excited to do some …

Sorry for the necro thread, however I have just obtained one of these cards. Its a Voodoo3 3500 TV with 6ns ram, and the 3DFX tool's says 166Mhz. It came from a Quantex Pentium III Slot 1 tower. I had no idea this version existed and seems very rare. Cheers. So I'm not crazy! I have two V3500 TV …

These two absolute beauties came in the mail today! 😍 A Terratec GeForce FX 5800 & a Winfast A250 Ultra (GF4 Ti 4600). Just a heads up - that Leadtek GF4 TI 4600 will need a recap in the long term. I have the same card, but with TI 4400 core. Caps are the same though - a mix of polymers and very …

OC'd my 600MHz Pluto to 900MHz by copying the resistor config off an Orion. It surprisingly works. Awesomeeeee.. I saw you have to bump it down to 800, Still fantastic up lift! 25% overclock! I will do this to my 900Mhz T-Bird when I get a chance. I might even set it to 1050Mhz, which is the …

Now I'm wondering what's in my 1Ghz Orion. What's the easiest way to open one of these things up without maiming myself or the processor?

My guess is only "MMR" models might have had 1GHz+ cores - I have a 700MHz "MPR" T-Bird and the core is also rated for 700. (the reason I say 1GHz + is because I just recently saw a 900MHz model with a 1100 core.) 1100Mhz Core!?! Wow. That would be a great find. If i ever get a 1000Mhz T-bird in …

Picked up this nice Slot A Thunderbird 900Mhz from the bay for 68$. I pounced on it because I'm just a huge sucker for that golden orb cooler. Of course another 900Mhz T-bird is always welcome as well. Once again this 900 T-bird has a 1Ghz core!! That's two in a row now. I'm starting to wonder if …

Got the K7-900 Orion apart for factory TIM replacement. Unfortunately no free core upgrade on this one 😞. Still, feels good to get it repasted. What do you do to take advantage of the better cores? Move some resistors around on the PCB? Well I have a goldfinger which works handily. I wonder if …
