both from ebay, paid £40 for the Voodoo 5 5500, perhaps a little steep but I REALLY wanted it. voodoo 3 2000 was a very reasonable £5. Will be having some real 3DFX fun when these 2 arrive. I always wanted a Voodoo 5 back in the day, but too expensive for my tastes, by the time they were cheaper i …

No really that retro,as both these are around 2006 vintage but a real bargain: Microstar MSI MS-7188 SKT 939 motherboard with AMD Athlon 64 3200+ and Heatsink and Fan.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMA6xdQq1o4 It clearly should run 3Dmark2001 on S3TRIO3D/2X, at least under 98 as this video demonstrates. Also seems the Rage XL should be a lot better than what i got judging by the pics here at vintage3d(what an awesome site!) http://vintage3d.org/rage3.php#sthash. …

OK I'm all built up and running, currently with the Celeron CPU as the P3 hasn't arrived yet. Had to install XP as my 98SE disk has gone walkabouts, I know it is here someplace, last place you look huh? Rage XL works under XP but the drivers seem rubbish, Unreal is missing most textures and …

Wish I could help, mine has no identification marks whatsoever. I believe it is from between 2000-2002 as mine had a dead Asus P4B board installed clearly by the original builder when i found it.

Thanks all, Well i wonder what will arrive in the post? A Creative TNT, per the description(nothing like the image, board is green for a start!), or a creative GF2 or the MSI that looks identical to the picture.I guess I'll have to wait and see!
