Not even a pentium mmx 233 can use the full power of the voodoo 2,so no way a 486 is enough for voodoo 2 or 3,better use a voodoo 1 with a 486. http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=38578 u can see here how a voodoo 1 performs on a pentium 100mhz,since the best 486 it's still not as fast in 3d …

Not sure if replacing the bios chip is worth the money,since this is a old board which i bought for 2 euros and wasn't even sure i'm gonna use it for a build.I'd rather get another mvp3 ss7 board.

Well i managed to solve the problem,so to speak,i took the bios chip out,left it out for a while and later when i placed it back on the mb,didn't pay atention to the notch on the chip and the socket and put it in backwards so the chip is definatly dead now.
