Hmm dumpster diving...For PC parts? I probably wouldn't. For DeLorean parts- mmm, maybe! ;) There are some decent pawn shops here and there in North Kansas City. I try to stay out of the bad neighborhoods, but they usually have a good selection. LoLs, I once landed a 42inch Zenith plasma tv but …

If they are stealing food and medicine donations intended for the poor, don't you think they'd steal computers, too? How many of those laptops intended for poor children ended up in the hands of terrorists, I wonder, who used them to co-ordinate with each other globally over the internet? I am …

It has to be the Quantum3D X-16 they are thinking of. I have the X-24 and the SB200i and they have more memory but they are also 2 Voodoos in single slot SLi. The X-24 is like the original GeForce 7900/7950 GX2 with the two Voodoos sandwiched together on separate boards. The SB200i is like the …

Looks like I wasn't alone in my thinking and some people mentioned in comments that there were some voodoo2 made after the voodoo3 had hit the market by 3dfx them selves with 16mb. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lFa-_0U3CA EDIT: after some more searching looks like there was more confusion as one …

Voodoo2 hardware specification http://darwin-3dfx.sourceforge.net/voodoo2.pdf - 2 or 4 MBytes of SGRAM* or SDRAM* frame buffer memory - 2, 4, 8, or 16 MBytes of SGRAM* or SDRAM* texture memory HOLY CRAP ON A STICK.... "66 MHz PCI Bus 2.1 compliant" That just KILLED my slot a rig. Now I have to find …

Very cool! I was attempting to find a decent mother board with AGP, PCI, and at least one ISA slot, but couldn't find an affordable one. Everyone seems to want buku money for one! I ended up building two retro computers, much to my wife/living room floor's dismay. I cram all my computer stuff into …

Re: cpu identification (pentium mmx)

Posted on 2012-05-06, 20:51

I think that we might have one of the legendary remarked samples that people used to purchase then mill down the surfaces so that they can remark the cpu as a different model. There was a rash of these back in the mid 90s when the Pentium 1 still had a high price. You can freeze the cpu in a freezer …

So after reading over it did support up to 16mb but just not as I had assumed. Oh well it was an interesting thought to start off with. I did find out that it is or might be possible to mod the 8mb editions to 12mb without needing to deal with firmware unlike modern cards using the vram off a dead …

Re: Voodoo2 16mb do they exist?

The only stupid questions are the ones not asked. For the most part anyway. From what i've been told, 12mb is a physical limitation to the chipset. Which doesnt make a lot of sense when the banshee is 1/2 a voodoo2 and has 16mb... Yea, I wish that 3dfx had done a little more though considering how …

Re: Voodoo2 16mb do they exist?

I suppose it is possible. Most voodoo 1's were 4mb. There are some relativly rare 6mb versions. (I have one) As for the Voodoo2, they had the 8mb and the 12mb. As for 16mb, I'm willing to bet it is a typo. 12mb doesnt stick in the brain as well as 16mb. However in my searches it seems to be that …

Voodoo2 16mb do they exist?

I was once a member on a ill fated 3dfx forum that I've long forgotten the name and link to but anyway it was were Rottentreats and other prominent 3dfx community folks used to post. To get back to the point I remember one of the members had a thread open at the time of some rare voodoo2 16mb …

Re: Cyrix MII-433GP Build

I've been lurking around for the past few weeks but anyway does anyone know what the fsb wall is for most Cyrix M2? I've been tinkering around with a few samples that I got left with a p5a rev 1.03 and gotten some running at 2x120 on stock volts. However I am not good at overclocking these :/ As for …
