Hi all. I have 2 video cards, both of the G4 quicksilver era, that I need to test to see exact specs. Has been a while since I used either, and need to find out how much video ram is in each etc. Both are 2x agp compatible, and i believe at least one if not both are 4x as well. I would like to see if I can swing by a members place that has a Quicksilver Tower or maybe even pre quicksilver AGP tower to just install these to find out the specs. I am in Berkley. And hopefully your not too far away. Sorry to be a pain. If you have time today that would be great. Thanks again all!

Mike

thats a geforce 2 MX twinveiw, has twice the vram, you can sell all those cards as cube compatible bar the geforce 4MX (needs a VRM relocation) but state that the 7500 and the twinveiw have to be either run with no face plate or have the faceplate modded.

I have had pretty good luck looking up model/part numbers on Google when I need to learn about video cards. They are usually on a sticker or printed on the PCB.

Hector thank you. It is in fact a Geforce2MX Twinview and a 64MB Geforce 4. The person buying it has a Sawtooth. I believe the Geforce 4 should work for him.
