Since I have joined Vogons in somewere around 2013, I have build at least 3 Pentium3 machines. I will list them here....
Machine #1
Intel VC820 motherboard (Slot1/RD-Ram)
Pentium3 500 Slot1 CPU
256mb PC-800 RD-Ram
Matrox G400 (later swapped for: TNT2-Pro)
SB-Live (later swapped to Yamaha YMF-724)
Machine #2
Intel se440bx2 Motherboard
Pentium3 500 Slot1 CPU
512mb PC-133 Ram (133 for extra stability)
Matrox G400-max (Later swapped to TNT2-Pro)
Voodoo2-SLI (2x12mb)
Creative AWE64 Gold (Later swapped to YMF-724)
Machine #3
Intel d815eea2 Motherboard
Pentium3 933 Socket370
512mb PC-133 Ram
Voodoo3-3500 "Compaq edition" (later swapped to GF2-GTS, then GF4-ti4200, then GF3-ti200)
Yamaha YMF-724
Note that the Compaq edition of the V3-3500 is the model used by Phils computerlab.
It is a nice card, unfortunately very hard to find. 🙁
EDIT:
Regarding Voodoo cards, then I recommend V2 if you go for something like P3-600/800.
Faster, like a P3-1000/1400, then I recommend something like a Voodoo3-3000 or 3500.
If you go for that 600 to 800 mhz system, and get a hold of some V2 action, then choose
a Matrox-G400 card. You will be getting Glide support and wonderfull signal quality
from the Matrox card. Else, choose a TNT2/V2-SLI solution instead.
If you choose a TNT2 card, then eighter go for a Pro or an Ultra. Don't buy M64/Vanta's.
Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....
