Re: 3D Blaster V2 CT-number models?

The 8MB model isn't rare. I've seen a lot of them. I'm not sure which version has been manufactured more but something tells me that the 8MB version was actually more popular back when the Voodoo 2 was new (at least in my area). And yes; Voodoo 2 6MB does exist but only engineering samples, not …

Thanks... Hmmm... No 100% way to tell the amount of ram by the "CT6670" number then? And there are samples in the wild, with 6mb ? :-O Da**. And yet I don't see any 6 and any 8 cards out there in the wild. Everything is 12mb (say's every seller). I guess.. If the 8mb is rare, the sample model with …

To me, the Dragon looks like having some advantages. - You can fit more modules, which I don't know if it can take more or lesser memory size in total. - You can do some better cable management because of the way the layout is made. - The Epox does not have any 4-Pin (P4 plug) for powering the CPU, …

According to this old topic it could be CT6670 or CT6671 for 8mb models: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=22408 The only sure way to know is to look at the card's back. If the top row of memory chips is missing then it's an 8mb Voodoo 2. EDIT - Here are two links from tdfx.de to help …

Long story short: the last 3-4 weeks were a total mess for me with me "waking up" from a depression (in which this project was started ironically) after a paranoid episode that went over 6 days with a bit of an aftermath - not going into too many details, as I consider this extremely private and …

Thanls. Hmmm... What CT-Number can the 8mb might have? Are they rare, because I have not found any numbers other than CT6670.

Have been reading about retro hardware using google search. Damn so many old computer's have nice design's. Like these machines here http://www.oocities.org/surfboardart/Mainframe/system360_photos.htm Love those colours they choose back then. Then I have bargained for some old hardware. And perhaps …
3D Blaster V2 CT-number models?
Posted on 2015-07-28, 20:04
I have seen some models of the Voodoo2 12mb as CT6670 or was it the 8mb! This got me confused. What model number is the 12mb and what is the 8mb? Do they have the same CT-Number perhaps?

There are better options for Dos games, than a P-III. How about P-II, P-I, K5, K6-II/III, 5x86? (even 486's) P3 is mainly for Win98 games and other software for me. At those speed's, dos games are going by at alarming rates. Resulting in no ISA card for me. On the other hand, if you were to have …

The old codegen 300w PSU's deliver 30a on 5v and 13a on 12v. I think that they would be fine if one can be found and recapped. I did build a lot of machines in 2005 using Codegen and Athlon XP's. Might even do a fan-mod, changing the fan for a low noise. I only know this because we did about 30 of …

Back in the day's, most people ran Indy3 with Adlib. One can use midi (if I am remembering correct), yet Adlib is what most people were used to hear. To get that old feeling, use Adlib. And if one would like to play a "rich old dude" 😁, then go for midi.
Upgrading Ram on voodoo2?

Hi all... There are 3 (possible more) videoes of a dude playing around with his V2, modded from 8mb to 12mb Is this even possible to upgrade V2's this way? Adding more Ram just by soldering in some more chips. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ux0eMdj4lwQ Or is this dude faking it all. Showing a …

Could I have that TUSL2-C with mem maxed out? Win98-only is not a rig that I would use ISA cards in. Now... 110+ mhz V2-SLI and a GF4-ti4200+ SB Pci 128 or better. (Yamaha XG perhaps) Maxed out HDD-Space, using ATA-133 using Raid for speed and reliability. DVD-Rom and CD-RW drives. OS is Win98SE

5v heavy systems would then be something like P-Pro, P4-Socket-478 and really early Athlon systems (600 to 1400mhz)? What about K6-2/3 systems, P3 Slot-1, P3 socket370 (from 800 to 1200) and old Pentium 75 to 233MMX?
