Hey all
For some time, I still remember seeing Voodoo5 5500's have 128MB SDRAM, meaning 64MB per VSA-100, even plans of doing a V5 6000 with 4x 64MB, and there was also a V4 4500 AGP even with 128MB SDRAM.
V4 4500 128MB = 1x 8x 16MB
V5 5500 128MB = 2x 4x 16MB
V5 6000 256MB = 4x 4x 16MB
Even though, the VSA-100 White Papers describe that the VSA-100 have a max VRAM Support of 64MB.
As those heavily VRAM upgraded V4 4500's go, was their Bios altered, so 128MB was readable?
Would it be possible to have a Voodoo5 5500 AGP with 2x 128MB or even a Voodoo5 6000 with 4x 128MB?
Even that V5's have 4 Ram sockets per VSA-100 over the 8 the V4 4500 AGP has.
I then thought if you could find 32MB SDRAM chips, this can get interesting, with 128MB per VSA-100 you could do a lot of crazy stuff, the idea of running out of VRAM would also be dealt with.
So to get 128MB Per chip we could get this:
V4 4500 256MB = 1x 8x 32MB
V5 5500 256MB = 2x 4x 32MB
V5 6000 512MB = 4x 4x 32MB
If a 2x 128MB V5 5500 is possible I would stand open as Test subject.
