innovision 3dx5000

Got my hands on this lovely v1 card. Never saw that kind of a voodoo 1 pcb. This one has 4 mem slots free (can be soldered). Should I even bother trying to raise the memory to 6M or I ll just waste time and money ?

It's up to you man... ???

If you wanna' MOD it, I say GO FOR IT! Grin

...but remember that it's worth more as an 'original'. Wink

Also, you'd need matching RAM for modding... Roll Eyes

hmmm... remember the film with Clint Eastwood "for a few dollars more"  Grin
I'm all for modding! I would even dare to say that it's worth more modded!  8)

I'd keep it as is...

If you want to game on a 6MB voodoo1 card you could always pick up a Pure3D card on ebay.

I won't open a new thread, I'll just post here, since I am in a similar situation, but with a more special card.
I have this Skywell Voodoo1 with 4 MB and it has room for another 4 MB. Is Voodoo1 with 8 MB possible ? I saw Voodoo Rush with 8 MB, but no Voodoo1.

So this card will only have 2 MB of texture???
