Same here 🤣 😜
I build 2 systems basically because I wanted to play through the Unreal campaign twice, once at normal on one computer and once on hard on another computer with different soundcard.
Is it normal for someone to build 2 computers from scratch just so he can go play a game he paid 1 lousy € for in a second hand shop?
I guess for a member here on Vogons...it is! 😁

It's equal in power to a Voodoo 3, if not a tid bit faster, and it also has FSAA, but only 2x and it also has the same compatibility problems as the Voodoo 5. The Voodoo 3 is a pretty nice card, however it's not an add-on card so you can't use it with another card and its compatibility with older Glide games is worse than the Voodoo 2. You could probably hook up a PCI Voodoo 3 with another AGP card (preferrably GeForce 2 or something), but I'm afraid of there being incompatibilities.
I also think the passthrough quality of the Voodoo 1/2 is good enough, but you can just hook the two cards (Voodoo and other card) to a monitor switch box and select which cards' signal you want to watch on your monitor, so no problem at all.
Well, if the Voodoo4 is slightly faster then a Voodoo3, then the Voodoo4 would definitely be my preferred choice of the 2!
If those V4's weren't so expensive, I'd go get a couple more of them within a heartbeat! 😉
