It games quite well. Mid-range Coppermine Pentium III performance paired with Voodoo II's is good for 1998 and prior games.

Found some new ICS 9250CF-08 chips for $4ea, so I ordered 5 of them. My mod will be ready to install when I get a break. I'll probably bundle the other 4 PCB's into a kit and throw it on a marketplace once I confirm it works.

There's really not much airflow except for the window vents on the case. I may add a fan at some point, but it doesn't concern me since I don't use the machine a whole lot. The only fan in the system is inside the power supply. Maybe if I feel like being adventureous I'll mod it, but as it stands …

I thought about two Voodoo 2 working with such riser, but had some doubts after looking at Quantum3D designs, which all included additional controller for SLI boards like Obsidian X-24. Two Voodoo 2's work fine. I've been using it, and it works as expected. Benchmarks are the same as two native PCI …

After a quick look at my board, I have the 1.06 D02 revision. I'll have to source a ICS 9250CF-08 for this, since it currently has the ICS 9150AF-08. It should be an easy swap, and I probably have one in a scrap board in the basement. https://i.imgur.com/36vjHo6.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ah11Ezw.jpg …

My little tiny PCB's finally arrived, 🤣. Don't know when I'll have the time to do this, but I'll give it a go sometime in the future.

I use the same riser in my ITX Voodoo 2 SLI machine. It is a passive bridge, nothing shows up in my device manager. The chip on that bridge is just for clock arbitration I believe.

I was browsing an old PC Magazine PDF from 1990 that I have in my digital archive, and came across a Cyrix ad with this logo. Sorry for the thread bump, but I thought it would be relevant and contains the slogan below the logo.

"Replace Power" power supplies are bottom of the barrel component Chinese sweatshop PSU's. Don't waste your money.. spend $5 or $10 more for something reputable that hasn't been click-farm reviewed.

Unfortunately I don't have the time for that. But, there are dozens of video reviews of these on YouTube. The devices are well worth it IMO.

I found something similar on Ebay the other day, but it was an accelerator card for an IBM XT. It can be found by searching for: "Univation Inc PC Turbocharger PC Accelerator Card (1984) RARE" It may be of interest if you're into these types of FPU boards.

Then repaint the heat spreaders with some enamel black high-gloss spray paint. Reapply the stickers with some spray …
