V4 v4 V4 why do you V4 me so much??? The news arent good. There simply wasnt a way for the V4 saga to end so soon.... First I booted with the PCI VGA and I tried to install the drivers for the V4. As expected there was nothing new to report. The naming in Device Manager changed from Standard PCI …

😁 I might get my hands on an original BIOS but I'll have to wait some time. I'll report ASAP and I'll distribute the file if it is going to be the real deal. I keep my fingers crossed.

Thanks for the reply. I have a version 1.15 file for V4 4500 and I'm thinking I'll try that, but the normal V4 4500 is known to be a AGP 4x 1.5V card and this one is a AGP2x 3.3V even if it has two notches. My experience of flashing video cards is close to zero. I know the procedure but I never did …

It was not bought from ebay. In this case I had to take the good with the bad. It happens. I dont want to stay and calculate how much I've spent until now as I might come to a hefty sum of money, not to mention time. The satisfaction though is priceless. This entire experience is like a drug and I'm …

I buy all the time from that person and I didnt want to lose the "connection". In the past he offered to give my money back but not this time and a part of me didnt want to give it back. The price I paid was around 50 USD. If this was a bad move or not I cant say. I have no regrets right now. I …

@Kamerat I BOW TO YOU FOR GIVING ME HOPE!!! :) The V4 is recognized by Windows and for sure will be recognizedin DOS. Now the BIG PROBLEM is to find a suitable video BIOS IMAGE to flash.

WOW! It never crossed my mind! 😀 Thanks a lot for the idea! I keep my fingers crossed. I'll try it tomorrow as I already took out the PIII build for a CPU upgrade from 550 to 800. I'll report ASAP.

THE BIG DISAPPOINTMENT When I first tested the Hercules 3D PROPHET II GTS PRO 64 on the PIII-550 build, I also tested the PowerColor EvilKing IV VooDoo 4 / VooDoo4 4500 - L shaped - 210-0908-01 / 210-0435-001 on the same configuration. Even from the start the V4 would not give signal and the PC …

My fellow comrades and old HW enthusiasts, I have very SAD news to give to you. The V4 is DEAD and the BLUE WONDER Hercules has given me some troubles too. Thankfully in the case of the GTS it was a curious case of VooDoo spells .... Here's the latest episode in my HW ADVENTURE!!! The things I've …

I hope you have enjoyed the last episode of my HW adventures. Here they are, the last three beautiful cards to enter my collection. Next I'll test the V4 and the GF 2 GTS. More later. 😁

Leadtek WinFast A6600GT TDH This card came as a bonus with the purchase of the 3dfx V4 and Hercules Geforce 2 GTS. Revision F1 is the working one and revision H1 is my dead card from 2005. Having already cleaned the H1, the F1 didnt pose any difficulty. This functional replacement came just in time …

Hercules 3D PROPHET II GTS PRO 64 - nVIDIA Geforce 2 /Geforce2 GTS This awesome beauty really is something to BEHOLD. The combination of the deep blue PCB, the vivid blue of the heatsinks coupled with the black fan and the chromed bracket make the card to stand out from the crowd. Even the name of …

I'm pretty sure if the capacitors arent damaged there is no chance that isopropyl alcohol 99% will get inside them. You can safely drown the PCB with alcohol but after you gain experience you'll see how much alcohol you'll need. Blow over or shake the board to drain the excess alcohol that gets …
