Out of sheer curiosity, I wonder if there are still any spare 3Dfx chips left? I don't know exactly what happened when 3Dfx got bankrupt and was sold to Nvidia, but I imagine at least some chips were being fabricated that never ended up in a card. Do we know if my imagination is true or false?
Are there any spare 3Dfx chips floating around? A quick websearch didn't reveal anything, so maybe not.
go to ebay and search for "355-0026-220 3dfx VOODOO VSA 100 BGA".
Thanks, though neither of the sellers will ship to my country, but yes; there are chips floating around.
Are these Voodoo 4 chips, and not Voodoo 5? Where can I learn more about free floating chips?

Voodoo 4 and 5 use the same chip. Voodoo 5 uses 2 of them instead of the 1 on the Voodoo 4.
