I'm planning to replace a faulty DRAM chip on Voodoo2 card and at this moment I have two options - a visually similar looking 35ns (72MHz) EliteMT DRAM or a visually sticking out Mosel Vitelic 25ns (100MHz) chip. Ideally, I'd like V2 to look as original as possible and now I can't decide what should I do - experiment with a much slower, but more recently produced DRAM and expect it to operate well @ 90MHz+ or just stick with a known compatible Mosel Vitelic.
I could probably sand/soda blast Mosel Vitelic's white markings, so that it wouldn't visually stick out.
So, what max frequency can be expected from a 72MHz DRAM that was produced almost two years later from original DRAMs?
