3Dfx Voodoo Memory Upgrade - 6MB MOD (Part 1)

Did you know that there were Voodoo 1 cards with more than 4 MB of memory available? I didn't know back in the day, but there were models with 6 MB and 8 MB - probably at horrendous prices!
With the help of PCBWay, I created a PCB mod which allows to upgrade a Maxi Gamer 3D Voodoo 1 to 6 MB and potentially to 8 MB. In this video, we are going to double the texture memory from 2 MB to 4 MB.
