Yes, I am sure.
But please dont run that card without a fan, the stock heatsink will become much too hot...

[vixgold]

Ok, i will get a fan, can you sugest me something?
I was thinking about some OC... with a good fan the card will handle it?

Thank you for the help im realy happy now

If you wanna do OC, then u have to make major change on the GPU's Cooling System....
i've got a Voodoo 4 4500PCI some times ago, and i can run it at 190MHz with a huge HSF
the coolermaster coolviva (it can fits on the V4 PCI with its adjustable retention mechanism)

I have a similar card, but mine has an additional DV out. Unfortunately it was made for MAC. Is there any way to flash the bios so it can be used in a PC? I already tried the flash utility and the 115PCI bios, booted from DOS, but it gives me an error... something about banshee or Voodoo3 not found in my system.
Can someone help me please?
Thanks in advance.

I guess this problem is related to the flash program, you need one that doesnt check for V3 or Banshee.
Send me an email, I will then send you the flash program that worked for me along with the V4-4500 PCI/DVI Bios 1.18.

Rolo, thank you very much for the program. It flashed my card's BIOS. However it seems that the board is damaged or something, because all I can see is some kind of zig-zagged mosaic stuff, and strange lines, nothing readable. I tried to change resolutions, install different driverrs, but all i'm getting is a very strange display, and then the blue screen.
Oh well, we tried. THanx again for your help.
