VP6 final board revision

[uforic]

Hi Topcat,

I like to enquire what is the last board revision of VP6, and how many inbetween from the first to the final revision. Can you also advice me which is the best revision to get.
I am looking at a few at my local 2nd hand store. I intend to recap the board like you have advice, I might even sent it to you to repair. But I am in asia. What do you suggest, thank you very much.

The only version of the VP6 was 1.0... There were no factory revisions on this board, I guess this is one Abit got right for once (except the bad caps)...

Just just shout if ya have any questions!

Thank you for the info.

I have never done a recap before, kinda worried but also excited that I have used for my 2nd p3-866 and those extra pc150 rams that I slavage from my CUV4 mobo.

I can sent your the VP6 and money order you the return shipping charges as well, how much do u charge in total for replacement caps, work and so forth?

if those other vp6 boards at the secondhand store are real cheap i would grab them.
nice to have a spare and they are good trade bait.at least to me.
bet tc too.
and i have never seen any rev other than 1.0 either.
i have seen several hundred of these boards for recapping here.

does anyone know the total production for the vp6?
for instance one i am recapping this morning has a serial of tic004366
or is the serial the one on the left with more numbers?

I have no idea what that figure is. It would be interesting to know, it seems there's a never-ending flow of them with bad caps. All the serials on any VP6 I ever worked on was 'VP6-Txxxxxxx'....
