I don't think there was any other dual gpu for PCI apart from the V5 apart from the literal "two gpus on one card" ones you mentioned... and well some unobtanium obsidian voodoo cards :p There is no such thing as crossfire for radeon 7500 using later drivers is there? I know at some point they …

I’m kinda itching for a dual gpu for my dual pentium 233 mmx build I have a dual x600 fire gl card but the connector for the monitor sucks and they are kinda set up like independent gpus not like sli/crossfire which is what I’m kinda wanting. I know there is the voodoo 5500 but I can’t seem to find …

Any way to make after dark work at reasonable speed? I have after dark 4.0? And 10th anniversary edition. The 10th edition doesn’t seem to work well and replaced the classic savers I’m after. Some of the savers don’t work at all. Anyway, after dark 4.0 works great, except the savers run at super …

I have both K6-2+ and K6-III+ CPUs but not sure I want to decap any of them. Do we really think that the K6-2+ and K6-III+ were the same die? Maybe I will as they are really easy to decap unless they are wildly different than decapping regular K6-2 CPUs. We got a pic of the 2+ so let’s see a 3+ and …

This is a decapped K6-2E+ 570. Sweet! Can we get a high res of the middle all cleaned up showing all the tiny gold pads? Eventually hopefully someone shows up with a 2+ and a 3+ and can do some continuity measurements I’m wondering if amd didn’t pop a fuse in the package in order to kill the 128k …

The k6 2+ and 3+ use the same die. Not according to Anandtech . And even if we assume that they were originally from the same die, I would imagine that the K6-2+ are partially defective dies that had half of the L2 cache permanently disabled. Indeed, that die shot of yours seems to be of an …

Found these images, no indication of what the chips are but it’s clear that heat is needed to remove the chip without destroying it

There is no way to enable 256k on a 2+ is there? Uhm, you can’t add transistors that are missing from the die, so… no. :-D The k6 2+ and 3+ use the same die. Pretty sure they edited the die pic on this, or flipped it upside down, dono. Anyway there are several pads and resistors and I think this is …
