I'm thinking it is at least,
My friend has rebuilded a PCB, reconnecting all the bridges, soldering and removing waffers, completly modifing the ram (He took the 8 Simms of ram off the PCB and replaced it with newer 2.5ns MT 8MB Chips. He used a retail ASUS V7100 Pro 64MB graphics card for the PCB. The intraments he used to perform the seaming and soldering where stolen from the local University!
results,
after the Ram mod and Voltage mod to the CORE, his ram's defualt is 350MHz but he overclocked it to 380MHz flawlessly with no artifacts. The CORE was even more of an interesting result, he was able to obtain a smooth 266MHz CORE which was cooled by a blue orb with a copper brick.
Conclusion:
MX 400 Before,
200MHz Core
200MHz Ram with 64MB 4.5ns (ASUS 7100 Pro)
MX 400 After,
266MHz Core
380MHz Ram with 64MB 2.5ns
Note, the ram achieved up to 384MHz without any artifacts but he lowered it just to be safe.
Very impressive! but still was beaten by a GeForce2 Pro 32MB, thats gatta hurt. What was the point of all this, lets just say, it was for an experiment and he got the ram simms free from the construction computer class.
