Well, I turned on the computer this was in to enjoy some Voodoo5 gaming, and there was artifacting right away. The video BIOS screen is garbled, the PC BIOS POST screen has vertical lines, and then the next screen is garbled. It booted into Windows the first time (I turned the PC on and walked away …

I added memory chips to my Orchid 8MB Voodoo2 today to make it into a 12MB card. I had done this before on a pair of Maxi Gamer Voodoo2 cards and (aside from my first time soldering memory chip issues) didn’t have any trouble getting the extra memory recognized. However, the Orchid would not …

I’ve only tested my Voodoo 5 on an Athlon 1.33GHz KT266 system. But, I have two AGP …

I've been making use of posts here and the driver library while getting my older computers back up and running. I'm hoping I can contribute a bit back to the site that's helped me out. I was noticing some graphics glitches on my Riva 128 that I didn't remember happening back when that computer was …
