We bought a version of our TV that had an integrated camera specifically to call my Mom in the US from Europe. It worked really well because we sat on the couch and talked to her as if she were in the room. They canceled support after only 3-4 years after us getting the TV and there was no …
Re: Voodoo 3 3000 AGP under performing?

I was a driver beta tester for 3Dfx before the when belly up. I vaguely remember them saying that the last set were going to perform more poorly, but would be more compatible (?) and help the cards last longer... I could be misremembering though...

Be aware for side effects, though. On my ECS K7S5A (yeah, I know, not the most highly regarded Socket A board, even though it has its cool black PCB), the hard drive performance on an otherwise idle system dropped from like 50MB/s to 5MB/s on enabling stop-grant mode. Probably because the south …

I try to avoid any hardware upgrades anymore. "back in my day" if i searched whether memory type X fitted in board Y I had an answer within 15 minutes. That was 2006. In 2020 my son wanted a gaming rig and after days of searching I gave up and went to a ma and pa PC shop (they still exist) and paid …

Yes the 3500 TVs did need a lot of power and did not come with external power supplies. Back in the day I built all my PCs and usually opted for the most power so I never noticed... Good to know!

'76 Firebrd.. last of the single headlights. Got it up and running with my Dad. Was the fastest car in school. I totalled it and bought a '72 Triumph Spitfire. Then a '80 Porsche 924. Got a great deal on a 5-speed '84 Pontiac Sunbird then... Moved to Europe and my first car was a '89 Wartburg 1.3 …

Hands up I admit it was down to laziness. I didn't want to configure stuff and since I had Voodoos I figured might as well go Glide... For me they are like diesel vrs gasoline/petrol. Both have advantages and disadvantages

My son has a pretty up to date rig and plays various "modern" games and while on a side-by-side comparison of course the newer games look better but not mind blowingly better like we saw in the jump between 1999 and 2009. (which is when I stopped /paused gaming) . Just like the 1:1 "live action" …
Re: Voodoo 3 Fan Solution

I used screws that were big enough to pinch in between the vanes of the heatsink to hold the fan in place.

You would do well to add a small fan to the heat sink as those cards can get real hot fast... I found most Socket 7 fans fit perfectly. 😀
