Don't just look at the watts, check how many amps are on the 5V rail. You want at least 30A there for high-end AthlonXP CPUs. I ended up getting a used LC Power branded PSU from the early 2000s for mine, and it has served me well so far *knock on wood*. You see, you actually should be looking at …

OK, well I guess never mind. I did finally find a couple games that do use digital audio in both Dosprompt and DOS mode. Apparently there is just no Wavetable or OPL support. Just SB Pro digital audio.

Hi, I did a search of the forums and the internet as well and didn't come up with any actual answers. Just a couple of infuriating posts where someone mentioned that they had figured it out etc but never disclosed the answers. I did find out and verify that the Mk4 does indeed have the Silicon …

Since the C502 on the AGP card is visiably larger than the C501 which is listed as size 0805, would it be reasonable to assume it is a 1206? Edit: Never mind, I was just being lazy. I measured a similar sized Cap from the front and it was approximately 3.2 mm so yeah, 1206 or there about should be …

And we have results. Most ceramic caps on graphics cards are just for power rail decoupling and their value or presence is not too critical. But this area of the card is different. Right at the other side of the card we can see PWM regulator ic LTC1929. Regulators may have capacitors other than …

I'm not sure that using a capacitor with the same exact specs is going to make a difference. Generally you just need: 1. Same or higher voltage rating 2. Same or higher capacitance rating Thanks. I did know I could go over value on voltage but not necessarily Capacitance. Wouldn't that be assuming …

I can provide a clear picture of it if you need it. Thanks man but yeah I believe you have to remove it to get …

Loos a at this! http://hw-museum.cz/vga/62/3dfx-voodoo5-5500-agp On the AGP version, c502 is the larger cap than 501... Damnit.

According to a very high res picture here: http://hw-museum.cz/vga/63/3dfx-voodoo5-5500-pci They are not the same size.... this is a pci version but I don't think that will matter. My AGP card is laid out quite differently actually. It is kinda surprising since they say the AGP version is just a …

Well, it may come down to that but not yet...

So I am another person looking to revive their Voodoo 5 5500 card. I did not take good care of it as I found it in a storage tote loose with a bunch of other stuff. I forgot that I had even kept it so I guess I should be happy about that. Anyhow, I have had to replace 2 of the front side large SMD …
