so does your 64mb v4 has a vsa-100 oder vsa-101 gpu?



VSA-100

Quote:
my opinion: v4-2 4800 if vsa-101 / v4 4800 if vsa-100


Actually I cornered someone on the subject today via instant messenger.

=====================================

Gary says: speaking of which- in daytonas what makes a 4200 a 4200 and a 4800 a 4800? ram? interface? board options? don't understand why 32mbddr pci is called 4200, and agp version 4800 unless you guys had not settled on naming yet

The Doc: no naming, someone pulled it out of their @#@#$

Gary says: I thought as much, more concerned with getting the boards running correct?

The Doc says: even vsa 101 is made up.

Gary says: I was of the opinon you guys identified the boards by PCB number and revison.

The Doc  says: yes all the prototypes

The Doc  says: marketing would assing the product name.

====================================

There you go.

Which was compiled to a degree by third parties.

The boards were named by the marketing people, since the Daytona never made it to market they really have no official names besides Daytona.

The closest with an offcial name would have been the IBM Daytona.
