Re: Radeon Flashing question for flashing geeks

[Ron Stuart]

Is there a way to tell from the card sitting in front of you to tell 
what the memory is and whether it is flashable or not? I have a ATI 
Radeon 7000 Excaliber 64mb PCI TV out. This number is on the box 
"VC-RA7000-64P-P"

Peter,

Thanks for the input, but I got snookered. It is a 64 meg SDR card.

Thanks for the try at helping me.

Does the above info lead you to believe that the card is sdr and
non-flashable? or is there something else I am missing? or did I get
taken and this is some other card masquerading as a Radeon?
Could be that the video processor chip and/or the DDR RAM are too 
slow.

There are three FLASH utilities out there, to cover the cases of fast
video chip and fast DDR, fast video chip and slow DDR, and slow video
chip and fast or slow DDR.
I FLASH my Radeons in a Pentium I PC (166 MHz), and I've never had a
failure on the first time. I did have to remove all other than 
essential
PCI cards, though. With this particular Pentium PC, the FLASHing card 
and
the actual video card (which was not  Radeon) were the only cards 
which
could be in the machine.
