Got this Voodoo Banshee 16MB AGP for 5€ plus shipping.

Overall the card is in pretty good shape but the VGA connector is a pretty mess unfourtanely. At least it works.

I want to replace the Voodoo 5 5500 in my AMD k6 with this Voodoo Banshee because 'AMD k6 + Voodoo Banshee' seems a much more balanced system to me. UT scores exactly the same FPS at 800x600.

Now i wonder, why are the Voodoo Banshees prices so ridiculous high on ebay? Are they that scarse now? If so then this card for the price i got it was quite a score.

I sourced my Creative made Banshee locally for 15$ - getting another one (ELSA VICTORY Voodoo Banshee) soon.

That's the Latitude haul. The CP M233ST is on the left; the CPi is on the right. The CPi even has its original BIOS revision!

Is your Creative made Banshee pci? I got one also but it's dead 🙁
As for this AGP Banshee, i got it locally also. I don't get it but on ebay people seem to think by selling these Voodoo Banshess they're selling gold :\

Now to fond a cpu heatsink and best of all a system diskonchip 2000 sdd

Definitely seems like a very interesting board! From what I gather, it has an onboard S3 ViRGE with 2MB of VRAM - perfect for something like a V1 system. Lots of ISA too 😎

Oh yeah, to see the picture, you have to right click on the word "Image" and click on "View Image".

Doesn't work on my Chrome.

Probably an ad-blocker or other type of privacy/security setting. I get it a lot on forums in the last while. In your case it's one of those that I can't even right-click to 'view image' or click as link, which works for some. (Opera and Firefox on Linux, fwiw.)

Your original message didn't work in firefox or chrome or opera here either. That one works though.

It's possible that website doesn't like outside hot-linking like that, I don't know. I had that problem with Imgur with my ebay listings last week and have to use my own web server now.

You have to right click and select "View image" (or whatever it is called in the browser)

That will let you get the real .jpg file instead of an html page with the image on it.

Except linking like that will still redirect you to the HTML page. Which is probably why the image doesn't load for some of us. 😀

Some new stuff.

First something retro. 2x P2 233, 1x P2 333, 1x P3 450, 1X P3 500, won an auction with a minimum bid of ~0.1 Euro.

Then something useful for late retro systems, the fastest AGP card. (I already had one new in box with original wrapping, diddnt want to open it)

Then something old, not retro but new, this is confusing...

That cooler is not much use without a...

And last not retro at all but it will be used with some Netburst/K8 era hardware, another AX1200 😀

Nope, AGP. For some reason OEMs didn't import too many PCI 3D accelerators in my country - and when they were available, they cost 20-40% more then the AGP versions! PCI Banshees, Voodoo 3's, Riva TNT and Geforce cards are VERY rare around here. I don't actually own any PCI 3D accelerator myself apart from 3 voodoo 2's and an S3 Virge. Asking price for a FX 5200 PCI can be as high as 100$ and I don't really such cards for my Pentium 1 and K6 systems since 90% of them have AGP (VIA MVP3 or Ali Alladin V chipsets) - so I stay away from them.

Don't be surprised if these two capacitors bloat while you have these in storage.

Well If I never open the box I will never know they are bloated, problem solved.

I am trying to find a remote for my old Grundig TV - which is relevant to the forum as I use it with old microcomputers (and consoles). Probably have to buy more for it as I loaned it out in perfect condition only for it to come back from my spare room busted up with graffiti all over and with pieces missing. My poor TV, I've had it for years, I paid... well... nothing for it... but that's not the point, it's mine. I think the people I loaned it to probably did it out of spite when I stopped buying the TV License and ripped the antenna out. Oh, yeah, the assholes stole the plug too so I had to steal the one from my old soldering iron.
