I belive you only need 10 of the 14's, although the 14's come in a pack of 8. The 21's I belive you need 3. But pretty sure they come in a pack of 4.

I'm not sure about the 320MB, but the 640 has ten vram chips to cover, plus an I/O (not sure what this is) = 11 copper HSs. You also need HSs on the voltage regulators = 3.
I always thought that ram chips had a capacity of 64MB. If that is the case 320/64= 5 vram chips to cover + 1 I/O.
You might be able to get away with just buying the pack of six MC 14s and a pack of MC 21s instead of buying the whole kit. It will cost you a lot less.

320 has 8 ram chips and 4 voltage regs. It has less physical ram chips than the 640.

There you go. Three response, all different. Try to find a picture on the web or email the card manufacture. Call them during the day, MSI was very nice when I talked to them.

Here ya go. I was wrong. looks like Ten vram chips. I ended up getting the swiftech kit for the 640MB card.

This is a good site. They take off the fan/heatsink for their reviews.

Well i was wrong too! But i assure you there are 4 sets of vregs (one it at the top on not in line with the others.)
