Voodoo 4500 working?
« on: August 12, 2007, 10:27:44 PM »
Hi all,

I recently got a Voodoo 4500 from Ebay, and changed it over from my Voodoo 3000. At first, when I changed it, I tested it before putting my miggy back to gether and it worked. Then, I put the miggy back together and back in it's place under the desk, then it didn't work.

So, I took it all apart again and tested it, and it worked. I put it back together again and it didn't work.

For the 3rd time, I took it apart but this time, it just wouldn't work More than 2 hours later, I gave up & put the old Voodoo 3000 back in and it works fine. By works, I mean that Picasso96 can't find the board so the miggy resorts to PAL mode.

My question is, is the Voodoo 4500 broken? Why would it break after working fine (albeit it for 5 minutes)? What would break?

Befor eit broke, Mediator PCIinfo stated it was a Voodoo 5, but it definitely is a Voodoo 4.

Thanks.
