Have not been in this thread for a long while, did anyone beat the scores of Asus P5A boards? They are still my favorite boards and years ago i had many ss7 boards of different brands and Asus boards were faster. Mvp3 didn't come close and while gigabyte (ali V) did clock higher they didn't score …

It is well known that above a p2 350-400mhz cpu a voodoo1 can give problems ranging from glitches to some games not starting to even black screens. Some people have them running fine on faster systems but it can give lots of problems. So indeed, aways test them on slower systems first.

Lowest in bios is 800mhz, but maybe others have gotten it lower somehow?

My ultimate P-MMX is the one that clocks to 4x100 on an agp board. Two of my 200s seem to be able to run stable with a slight overvolt to 3,0v and some copper based socket A cooler. Tested on my pc chips m577 test board, 64MB pc100 sdram, Nvidia geforce mx440 for a few hours and running smooth :) …

When i bought a new ti 4200 i had an Athlon xp 1600+, Anandtech did his review of the card with a 2100+ so yeah.... Pretty big bottleneck. Anything 1000mhz and lower you can easily get by with a GeForce 2 gts. But I like the overkill. I use mij GeForce 2 gts with a k6-3 cpu and GeForce 4 cards with …

There are some workarounds to get some old (dos) Glide games to work on v2 and voodoo3. Once you get them working on v3 there's a bigger chance you get them working on v5. Every game is different, make sure you use the right 3dfx driver or .ovl files/Glide.dll. Also force using one v5 chip and max …

I use my voodoo1 and v2 sli the most. Most care free is probably the v3's and the v4 and 5 is nice for older Glide games to use AA. I have around 40 3dfx cards still (was above 80) but the later ones rarely get used...

Boards like p5a and p5a-b have zero problems with agp power. Some very cheap board had some problem and the common one i believe was a FIC 2020 or 2007 (or something like that). Didn't know the 503 had those issues as well. The problem came up when voodoo3 3000 and 3500 were released, voodoo3 2000 …

The most popular one for me would be a Sony trinitron with a flat front of the tube, not bigger as 17 inch and preferably a 15 inch. They are nowhere to be found here in the Netherlands or pretty expensive. The bigger ones pop up but are too big and still expensive. Have a DELL 15 inch now with Sony …

For Glide you need to start the Glide executable instead of the normal one, Glide version should be much faster.

If 150mhz is fine, maybe better cooling will do something? Try pointing some big extra fans at the card first and see how it does.

Glide needs to be supported by the game itself. If you have no experience with 3dfx cards then the voodoo rush is the worst card to get into this stuff as it was badly supported (needs tweaking on some games) and it was slow anyway. The 2d chip of the cards were also bad, especially the MX. The 2d …
