Today I’ll be attempting to repair two 3Dfx Voodoo 3 3000 cards! Both are experiencing artifacting and lockups in 3D games due to defective SDRAM memory chips. Join me as I hunt down the defective chips and not only repair these cards, but enhance them with better SDRAM, a full recap, updated BIOS and more!
