Is it really worth it to fix a voodoo3 card now these days?
i have a voodoo3 card, the evilking version that has 8 memory chips.
The issue with the card is that there is some kind of letter corruption, the image is almost good but some letters end up like washed or different color. I think its one of the memory chips.
1) Is there a program i should run to detect that memory is actually faulty and not the GPU itself?
2) finding replacement of ELITEMT M12L16161A -5.5T , i found many on aliexpress that was 7T, but one seller did have a 5T version so i think it should work , right?

It would cost for 8 chips plus shipping, a total of 17bucks
too bad there is no easy way to find out which of the 8 is the faulty one, or faulty ones.
i was going to throw this card to the trash, but looking at how expensive these are going i just kept it in a box.
