Missing the I/O bracket and the Heatsink (both metal) would indicate that has been pulled from a recycling center at some point. However, we don't care about where you got the card from, as long as you can get it fixed the community would be happy that another Voodoo card got the love it deserves! …

My suggestion would be upgrade the cpu to an Mmx and get a Voodoo 1 or Voodoo 2, also a Savage 4 Pci would be a good choice.

Um...what? I don't understand how I'm being wrong. He was banned from the forum being he was dishonest. Thus confirming what I said: "I think forums are great for keeping scammers away". :) Although, even if he was monetizing from the referral links or trolling from different accounts (I red his …

I think forums are great for keeping scammers away. You need to sign up and follow the forum rules. It is too much of a hassle for a dumb scammer to go through all that many steps. Also ebay is good as it gives a very wide exposure, the commissions are a little high though. In my opinion, if you put …

I've experienced something similar on a motherboard with bulging caps. Every Graphics card you'd put on that motherboard, it showed the image with transparent vertical lines jumping up and down, sometimes going brighter and darker, sometime the lines would fade and then in a couple of seconds they …

Damn, that is a shame you cannot send it back. I hope you didn't pay too much for it. :( I was asking you about that Banshee because it was my first 3dfx card, oh the memories. I was so upset when it stopped working. After some years collecting dust I put if for sale. I'm so sad it to hear it wasn't …

Try unplugging every unnecessary component (hdd and cd/dvd-rom). Connect the PSU only to the motherboard and one of those cables with the Molex connector on the GPU. Get a Multimeter and test the 5V and 12V on another Molex connector that comes from the same cable where is the Molex connector you …

There was one from France last week, the seller mislabeled it as "asus v5600" or something like that, and the price was really low for a GF256 (just 15 euro), I was just about to complete the purchase, when it was sold. I thought it was you. :) Anyway, if the card doesn't work, I think you should …

I don't know if you've seen this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_5suEoXTc8&t=107s It might help decide. I agree with Phil on this, the Cirrus Logic 5446 also gets my vote. It's performance is very good, compatible with many games and it can be obtained easily. Also the S3 is a valid option, …

The adapters without the power connector should be 44pins and are meant for laptops. Get the one with the 40 pin one with the power connector. If I'd suggest an CF to IDE as it would need no chip conversion, and it would be faster, but then again if you don't have a CF card then it might not make …

I think that would be a half decent PC for Win98 gaming. Getting Win98 on it shouldn't be very difficult if you know what to do. You'd need a blank CD (get the cheapest online) and burn an ISO with Win98SE. Serial can also be found online if you know where to look (google) . On some computers a Boot …

Thank you Grzyb! :) The card is now working!! All I had to do was set the #4 switch to the "up" position. It booted right up, I can't believe it!

Hi all, I have this ISA 16bit Video card from G2 (later sold under the name Video7 and Headland) that I don't use. I was thinking of trading it or selling, but before doing so I wanted to test the card. And I did on my main system (Socket 370 P3 with ISA slot) but doesn't output anything. The card …
