ah okay so the Daytona's don't work in NT based OS'es hmm same thing we have with our 5000 AGP's heh

Though it did run under 2K as XP but then only single chip Lips Sealed

. You could test them in an ASUS A7V333-R like I did with my 5000 AGP that might work?

here's an A7V333 if ya need one

nice set too, great for a test rig

I'm searching for that type of memory from some time...without luck.
I was not able to find a donner card ( or a device ). Nothing until now.
There is a possibility to use 54 pin TSOP2 memories, from Gf2 cards.
Komponent is working on a similar projekt.
It is doing that in his free time, so we have to be patient.
Why don't try to mod the v5 with 5ns memory ? The same mod that ALT-F13 did.
This aim should be more easy to achieve.

True, allthough I would have liked better not to have the community know about our project, so they would not have any hopes too high about it, because this work is pure experimental until any final conclusion...
And yes, the progress is very slow, not mainly because the difficulty of the project is too big, allthough it is, but because whatever I do, I cannot seem to find enough free time to work on it, and when I do from day to day, I feel too tired to be able to do any work. I'm sorry for that... I have all the hope that now, after the Easter has passed and all it's preparations are gone, I would do better...
So, dudes, have alot of patience please; when the project will be completed I will show the results, whatever would they be.

I looked around a bit, and found this site:

http://www.planetonecomponents.com/part/HY57V283220%2528L%2529T%2528P%2529-5.pht...

you can get a quote about what they cost and if they still have em, so if ya haven't found this site yet....

the ultimate one ofcourse being the V5 6000 with 256MB.

I would love to hear of someone trying to pull that off and succeeding.
Wonder what the benchmarks would say, as it scales very well due to lack of T&L, so......

If someone were to succeed in finding ram chips for the v5 5500, I'd love to put one of my cards as testsubject, paying for the cost along the way ofcourse.
