Hey guys. yesterday i was setting up this lovely, beautiful, gigabyte motherboard GA-BX2000+ rev 1.2 , Intel. 440BX
i used a pentium3 667mhz at 133fsb. I tried couple of videocards and everything was fine.
until i tried to use a Creative 3D Blaster CT6750 VooDoo banshee card. At first it booted fine, until i reached the task to run a DOS game, system hanged. touched the card and it was really really hot. turned off the pc, turned on again and started to show artifacts on screen so i thought it was broken. (because i even pointed a fan tirectly to the card)
then i decided to give it a second chance, with something with lower speed...amd k6-2 500mhz, so i used an epox motherboard Super socket7 mvp3
The voodoo banshee worked great for a long time, played dos games and never crashed.
was there a problem with voodoo cards used on faster computers? I was able to find this

but i thought only voodoo2 cards had problems on newer athlon xp PCs as they increased temperature, how come this card cannot handle pentium3 ?
