VOGONS

The VooDoo5 9000 was fake, but wouldn't it be cool to have a new VooDoo card PCB?

Hello everyone! This is my first post here!

I saw that fake VooDoo5, and I decided to do some investigating, but then I also realized it was faked. 😢

But wouldn't it be nice if there was a PCB clone of one of the VooDoo cards.. or any AGP video card like that? It would be great, since prices are getting out of hand.

What do you think?

Yes, of course, but I had hope that the hardware had a kernel of truth to it, but nope. I hate april fools sometimes.

UPDATE: Somebody's actually made a brand new VooDoo 1!

It's in the prototyping stage.

"Voodoo" has ONE capital letter. The 'd' isn't it.

Price for such boards will be much higher. Voodoo 5 probably have 6 layers PCB or more and those aren't cheap. But even if you tone down your expectations and settle for something like Voodoo 3/4 you'll still be paying ~400$ or even more for reproduction card. And I am really optimistic here with my estimations.

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.
