Are original GUS cards and clones rarer than 3dfx cards these days?

I would dump the Best Union MF-1869 REV:2.1 ES1898F (No OPL3) and keep the ALS120. I always liked the really cool ALSRACK software that came with the driver The player had a spectrum analyzer and was animated 😁

What is the best period correct graphics card you can put in an ultimate 1997 pc? I'm thinking a Millenium II but it might be too new, or maybe there is a better one? It should work with voodoo cards and games. I want it to be like, totally radical! So, the Gloria-L is already out, not compatible.

Yes that system is still alive 😀 I would have to take the card out. I will put a Caddy drive in it soon, then I could take some photos for you - if you are still interested 😎

No AGP Voodoo cards besides the 3dfx built-Voodoo 4 4500 AGP and the Voodoo 5 5500 AGP4x edition support 1.5V over the AGP. VSA100 is using PCI66 technology over the AGP connector. A regular AGP Voodoo runs on PCI66@AGP1x The Voodoo 4 4500 that Bancho posted is the only production 3dfx card that can …

Yes, I know. But I specifically bought the exact motherboard that PhilsComputerLab used in one of his big 3DFX card benchmarking projects a while back to be sure it properly supported the older cards' voltages. I used the onboard video to go into the BIOS and switch the settings to AGP 1X mode …

@dexvx: nice Athlon 1GHz :-D I got one too, so can finish collecting slot A platform. Nice, unfortunately, since mine was HP OEM, it only has a somewhat large heatsink. Hard to install a fan because it will get very close to the memory sockets. I think the classic Athlon (Orion core) 1GHz is much …
