I agree Errius but on a good note when I saw these cards I thought they were like an AWE 64 so I grabbed them with high hopes but I guess this card is better than an S3 Trio 3d as ive read bad things for the 3D side of the S3 Trio 3D which I bought as well with the 3 Matrox cards.

Im having second thoughts that it will not be of any benefit plus the price would be to high so I will keep them just as they are, thanks for all the info.

I bought 3 Matrox AGP video cards that have "Matrox 834-00 Rev A" and on the back sticker is "G2+/SDA/8BF/20" it looks very like this card except for the memory chips mine has four of them instead of two: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6b/Matrox_Millennium_G200_SGRAM_REV_A_ …

Does the Nvidia Riva TNT2 64 draw as much or more power as the Voodoo 3 in terms of volts and wattage for AGP 2.0 (3.3v)?

I found info about AGP 2.0 that AGP 2.0 cards use 1.5v but my card has the keys for 2x and 4x so what voltage would my Nvidia Riva TNT2 64 be using? And what voltage would it use when there is no 4x key on the motherboard?

I should have treated it like an egg too and I bought it from a second hand parts sale for $5 and now if I want to replace it the price is $150 from ebay so SH#%&*!@*, I suppose it will look good as an attempt at circuit board art on my wall some day when I get around to it

Im not sure what youre saying "On GPU: second row, last word" do you mean "BAN" short for Banshee? The two areas of damage in the red circles are what I did with the screw driver so my questions is if any of the tracks around the silicone GPU dye are broken will this render it faulty? Or are those …

I used a heat gun to soften the double sided tape for the GPU heat sink and then I used a small screw driver to pry it up but in the process I didnt see or know there were PCB tracks around the GPU, so my cringing question is have I damaged my Voodoo card? I tested it quickly in my P3 build and …
