Some V3 3000 wil OC to 200 MHz, even those with 6 or 5.5ns RAM. Hovewer with 5ns the chance is quite high. :happy: I second this. I had a voodoo3 years back with 5ms ram that overclocked well over 200mhz, Keep in mind I had a mild volt mod on the card. Without the volt mod it maxed out around …

I'm putting together a slot 1 machine and last night I ordered a Voodoo 3 3000 on ebay. Looking at the ram chips it seems like it might be 5ns ram. Does such a thing exist? I've never seen any better than 5.5 in person. Attached is a pic from the auction where you can see the ram pretty good.

Doing some googling and I think it might be for the Nexgen socket. That's the only one I can find with 2 mounting lugs on each side of the socket like this.

Going through some of my old stuff recently and I came across this heatsink. I have no idea what socket this would fit on, the dimensions are 41mm x 43mm x 16mm. Each side of the clip has writing, one side says SCA 17-1 and the other says THM. Any ideas?

With the CPU, Awe64 and the Banshee's great VESA compatibility this will make a great pure dos SVGA games rig. Dos glide titles may be a bit tricky to get working in native dos as they expect a voodoo1, but I would worry about that on a game by game basis when your up to that point. Nice! How many …

768 MB RAM is overkill and also not fitting to the time period. Moreover, Windows 9x does not work correctly with more than 512 MB RAM (there are patches, but why even bother). 128 MB is more than enough for a P3/500. You can also just use a Banshee. You need a CPU with about 1 GHz to fully load a …

EDIT - This is now a Celeron based build, P3 processors aren't working in this board at all. I skipped over the slot 1 stuff back when it was new, went straight from Socket 7 to Socket 370 so I think this could be a fun little project.

If you edit the .inf it'll run. The 45.23 driver supports the FX5900 and the FX5900XT uses the same NV35 chip. extract the drivers, open nv4_disp.inf in notepad and add... this line under [Manufacturer] %NVIDIA_NV35.DEV_0332.1% = nv4_NV3x, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0332 and this line under [Strings] NVIDIA_ …

I'd give 45.23 a try. So I downloaded that version and it doesn't support this model, the readme shows FX5800 and FX5800 Ultra as supported. The oldest version that I can find that supports the 5900XT is 56.64, so I'm going to run some benches with that version. I'll add the results to the first …

Half Life 2 will run great as long as you run in the default DirectX 8.1 mode it uses for the FX series. It looks pretty good. I'm not sure what's entirely missing, but you will notice some blockyness in some effects. Far Cry runs pretty well too. I think it uses a special FX rendering path with …
