Need help identifying GeForce2

[Godfodda]

Just got a GeForce2 in from auction (gonna have a happy son this weekend) and want to make sure I got what was advertised. :) It's supposed to be an MX.

I have found out that it is a Jaton card. nVidia GeForce2 MX on processor with F32801.01 0052A2 S Taiwan. 82118A/V2 above processor. UPC sticker has 3DForce2-MX 32M and serial number. 4 RAM chips: line 1 - Samsung 040 ; line 2 - K4S643232C-TC70.

And this is the snipped auction ad:
nVidia Geforce 2 MX 32MB AGP with FAST 5.5ns RAM
This card is the original MX series, which is faster than the MX200 & MX400 cards which you see a lot of auctions at low prices. This card has a 350MHz RAMDAC and supports resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 and will handle AGP bus up to 4X with Fast Writes.


Google search on the 82118A revealed Jaton and their PDF "manual". (BTW, when did pamphlets become manuals? I used to peruse manuals when they were 2 inches thick... when things were much slower and less complicated. Now it's faster, smarter, better but no damned docs. Ahem... sorry. :rolleyes: ) From what I can get out of that, this is an MX, but I would appreciate any input anyone may offer. TIA

ok,if the card says geforce2mx,then it is an original version
(the mx200 and mx400 have their respective numbers )

going on the auction snippet you seem to have got a good deal
strange that there is 5.5ns memory (most use 7ns,and hyundai ram),but this means that if you want you can overclock the memory on the card very easily,and get a fast card for a great price.

i dont know much about the manufacturer,but from what ive been able to dig up,they seem ok.

Hey godfadda, I found a review on the card here (http://www.neoseeker.com/resourcelink.html?rlid=37646). I think your son will be very happy :). The card has good memory as mentioned above.

The author of the article was able to run the card at 200GPU/200Memory without problems. Up from the default settings of 175/166. It's a nice, small card with a heatsink (no fan) but the .18 Micron GeForce 2 core stays pretty cool at stock speeds.

Enjoy!
