Hi guys,
Just bought one and I’ve noticed with this card that the sys info screenshots from people often falls into two categories, MIPs between 8.8-9.0 or mips around 9.8-10.0
Just bought a card with 32mb and it is around 8.9-9.0,
I’m guessing pretty much everyone is loading KS into memory (since that is the standard setting) so I’m wondering if the other big differentiator might be the memory speed and whether people are using the the SPEEDRAM jumper or not? Mine doesn’t have the jumper so I’ll try and get a jumper and see how it goes. The code on the memory is VT-517404-6 so I’m assuming it is 60ns? In that case adding the jumper should speed it up.
Couple of questions,
-Do you think the typical jumpers sold on ebay is going to suitable? They seem to be mostly 2.5mm, putting a ruler against the board that looks about right size wise but it is pretty hard to tell when the size is that small.
-Alternatively do you know what type of old hardware might have some jumpers I could use (have a broken a500, a520 modulator and some other stuff that could be sacrificed). Before I open everything up to look for one was just wondering if anyone knows of hardware that often has them.
-Anyone have experience with the speed of ram and mips performance with this board? e.g. 70ns down to 60ns, or 70ns down to 50ns.
Apart from the ram, is there anything else that could likely account for the 1 mip speed difference that people seem to seeing?
