I know this is random,

on the TNT cards what's the (Usually) JP1 connector for, I remember looking for this when they where new but never could find out.

don't think SLI type thing was ever mentioned in the specs. no Pinouts listed anywhere. no mention of their existence. may be some one here may have an inkling?

Many Thanks

Ok, how do you tell the difference card labelled "TNT2 64m 32mb" from a Vanta card without having to remove the heat sink? has the 26 pin feature connector header pins. so looks like a quality board, there's an MX chip in the middle of the board with solder pads around it for a larger chip.

Thanks,

means I landed a bargain, seller was a bit ambiguous with tnt2/vantra, and from what I've read, the Vanta's are under clocked.

now got to squeeze into a Compaq Evo d500 sff, recon it should just fit without the bracket.

Vanta cards only have 16MB of memory iirc. If it has "M64" somewhere on the back label it is not a Vanta.

The Vanta is an M64 as well. Depending on how a vendor named its card, a Vanta may be called M64, too.

These cards are cheap and common as hell. Even for free I'd not call it a bargain.
