Quadra 650 VRAM
Posted by: tecneeq on 2022-11-14 04:13:53
Before i order 2x 512kb VRAM for my Quadra 650:
  1. Is there any information i need to know in regards to latency of the chips and a 40MHz overclock?
  2. Is it possible to use 2x 1MB VRAM? The documentation i have found says 2x 512 is all that's possible.

I can answer my own question:
  1. 80ns is fine
  2. 512kb are onboard, to get the maximum of 1MB you need 2x 256kb. Once again Everymac has wrong information:1668429753129.png

Looking to expand my own 650 a bit: Where are you buying your VRAM?

No need for me, i already have 2x 256kB. But if i had to buy new, i would consider those in 80ns:

Agreed, @Siliconinsider 's purple RAM is solid.

Good - those are the ones I had in mind!
Let's hope there's some left in stock for when I get around to it - Xmas isn't cheap :/
