A Speedy Tiler: Kyro II on Hercules' 3D Prophet 4500

The Kyro II Card Up Close & Personal

The board has been manufactured in blue like other Hercules cards. Besides the VGA port, there are no other ports. TV-Out or DVI have been left out to keep the price low. However, it is still obvious that certain areas on the board layout have been kept open for other options.

The newest Powerstrip beta still only recognizes the chip as Kyro and not as Kyro II. An intelligent feature is limiting AGP mode to a maximum of 2X.
