Dynamite TNT2 Specs

The Dynamite TNT2 that we received is laid out almost identically as the Ultra version. Of course, there are certain things missing. First, the non-Ultra version has 16MB of SDRAM, as opposed to the 32 that the Ultra had. The SDRAM on the board is manufactured by Hyundai, and is rated at 6ns. It is laid out in a 8 chip configuration on the front of the card, each chip being 2MB in size. In contrast, the Ultra had 8 chips on the front and another 8 on the back, giving 16 chips x 2MB each. The other noticeable thing that is missing on the non-Ultra version is the Brooktree TV-out chip that is on the Ultra.
