3Dfx Voodoo Memory Upgrade - 8MB MOD (Part 2)
931This is the second part of upgrading the memory of my Maxi Gamer 3D 3Dfx Voodoo 1.
In part one, I added 2 MB to the TMU chip to increase the texture memory. In this video, I complete the memory upgrade by adding another 2 MB to the FBI chip. This should allow this Voodoo card to render 3D scenes in a resolution of 800x600.
