That is interesting. Seems like those Quadro cards are binned pretty well. My GTS overclocks pretty well but it get's fairly toasty in the process.
All said I still left in in the K6-3+ build. The TnL really does help. I ended up putting the Voodoo 3 in my Pentium III build, along side a Radeon 9250SE PCI card. I switch between the two with the bios.
Clunky but cheaper than a Voodoo 2 SLI setup.I have lately moved onto getting one of my K6-2+ chips to work in a Toshiba Satellite 1625cdt.
Thanks to and old thread on Hardforum I was able to get it working, if only at 500mhz. Still a worthy upgrade.I am curious RepoMan11 if this RepoMan in this thread is you? If so thanks for the help!

I didn't last long on [H] 😀 Not long after that, someone made fun of Kyle Bennett's Humvee, and he went on a banning spree. I made the mistake of pointing out that being that thin skinned about a vehicle you own was pretty silly, and I was banned as well. So it goes, the only time I've ever been banned from an online discussion forum.
I ended up giving that computer to a friend who had more use for a laptop than I did, but after a year or maybe two, one of his kids managed to destroy the PCMCIA slot and I ended up getting it back after that. I ended up taking it to Ewaste (in maybe 2009/10 when I had to get rid of a bunch of stuff because I lost use of a storage building) without taking it apart to get the K6-2+ 550 out of it because I had several K6-2+ CPUs already. When I remember things like that and kick myself , I go on to remind myself that even if I had salvaged the CPU, it would have been lost in the fire along with everything else.
