was there ever a dual agp mobo?

This one time at a PC trade show, Micron demonstrated a motherboard chipset that permitted dual AGP ports: Micron SamuraiDDR. IIRC the board with that particular featureset was called Micron Madison.

The Madison dual Slot 2 board would have basically used two North Bridge chipsets, which would separate the two AGP slots.

My guess as to why they did this was "multi-monitor without compromising by reverting to PCI" but IDK for sure. Someday I'd like the real story on it. 😀

Oh dang, cool!

So like, windows works with that? Seems like two separate systems kinda… does it take a special os?

Most likely no. Only one north bridge can communicate with south bridge directly. So it's probably master-slave (how scandalous) relations.

That's almost like 2 motherboards on a single PCB 😜

Btw, I don't remember anyone ever talking about it or even having this board.

How’s halo run on it?

Edit: oops, I see OP was wanting to know about voodoo 0-3

Halo is probably a no go on those cards.

But the k6-3+ as you can see can technically play it though, but not without lag.

Alright club members, tonight I have a special presentation for you full of fantastic propaganda for your viewing pleasure. But first let me introduce our special guest Mr. Kenny Loggins who will be supplying the background vocals for us. And later there's a fill in the blank quiz just to keep things spicy (only one answer per club member please and the first correct response wins) so without further ado, let's rock!

Revvin' up your engine, Listen to her howlin' roar

.
.
Metal under tension, Beggin' you to touch and go

.
.
Highway to the danger zone, Burr-Bah-Burrrr

.
.
Ride into the danger zone, Burr-Bah-Burrrr

.
.
Headin' into twilight, Spreadin' out her wings tonight
Come in, Goose. Enemy sighted 12 o'clock.

She got you jumpin' off the deck, And shovin' into overdrive
Fox Two Fox Two!!! Splash Bogey!

.
.
Highway to the danger zone, Burr-Bah-Burrrr
Turn and burn, Goose. Dinner's waitin'.

.
.
I'll take you right into the danger zone, Burr-Bah-Burrrr
Nice glide slope Mav, but you forgot the landing gear.

.
.
They never say "Hello" to you, Until you get it on the red-line overload

.
.
You'll never know what you can do, Until you get it up as high as you can go
Damn you, Longbow!

Long guitar solo
Nice jacket, poser.

Mine's better.

.
.
Toughest chicks in Hollywood.

Out along the edge, Is always where I burn to be

.
.
The further on the edge, The hotter the intensity
Eleven frames per second, whether it's 166MHz or 200MHz, 800x600 or 1024x768, tells me that it's ___________.

.

Highway to the danger zone, Burr-Bah-Burrrr

.

I'm gonna take you right into the danger zone, Burr-Bah-Burrrr
No, Goose! Nooooo!!!

.

Highway to the danger zone, Burr-Bah-Burrrr
Ride into the danger zone, Burr-Bah-Burrrr

Thank you, thank you. I hope you enjoyed.

That's so cool

Eagerly awaiting to join the club ... k6-3+ on the way.
Board is EPoX EP-51MVP3E-M. Was actually considering Diamond Moster Fusion (Banshee) at first ... we'll see.

Not sure about sound .... few options:
* Acer Magic S23 (CS4232 + OPL3)
* CT2900 (Vibra16s + OPL3)
* AWE64 Gold
* Aureal Vortex (Diamond Sonic Impact S90) or even Vortex 2

Targeting 1996-1998 mostly:
* Lucas Arts: Grim Fandango, Outlaws, Star Wars * ...
* Warcraft 2, Starcraft
* AoE, 7Kingdoms
* Red Alert
* Doom, Quake, Quake II, Hexen, Hexen II
* Carmagedon
* Diablo I
* The Curse of Monkey Island
* King's Quest VIII: Mask of Eternity
* Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines
* Half Life
...

All the stuff I used to play on Pentium 166 MMX in software rendering 😀.
Music of my youth.

Which 3+ did you get?

400ATZ

you’ll like it! Nothing speeds up a socket 7 quite like a 3+ :p

Don’t let her get too Hot.

Ooo sweet!! We need to get ahold of one and dump the bios and get better pics

Nice clean build. I'm building one similar to this one. If you don't mind, what range of DOS games can you play? How early can you go? Have there been any games that are speed sensitive enough to not run well?
