Can anyone help me identify these boards? I need to get their bios, they are corrupted. I used others from another board, and they boot, but not correctly. Here are the photos. Thanks!

I just asked this because my voodoo3 gets too hot. I already placed a nice active cooling for it, but the pcb still gets pretty hot. So I wanted to exchange for either a voodoo4/5, G400max or TNT2 Ultra, wich are the options for that era. A geforce 2 ultra would not be bad, but too much. I just …

wouldn't an OC voodoo4 beat the voodoo3 3500 and support 32bit? I think I will stick with my voodoo3 then. Matrox has the pic quality, so maybe i will get it.

I was thinking on upgrading my voodoo3 3000 , for a tn2ultra a voodoo4 or a g400max, from these , but I see that tendencies go towards the voodoo3 3000/3500. So you think it's better to keep my voodoo3?

I do have a voodoo3, so it's not worth to upgrade to a voodoo4 correct?

A SB16 with emu8000 synth and ram... I would rather have a normal SB16 with a db50xg , or even better, a SB16 with some cheap GM module.

No idea how hard was for them to analyze , I got the code back yesterday and it works with a GAL16V8. Waiting to get the original chip via EMS atm. Components are new to my knowledge, not recycled. But when getting some 1988 Z8s you can never be 100% sure. No need for any other sums. It would be …

If it's like what is said on pointed thread, it could be a good alternative if not the only hardware alternative for "smart midi" features for fast and slow computers.

For me the problem of LCD is that I don't feel CRT radiation in my face. That's disapointing 🙁
