A bit of history 3DFX Voodoo5 6000

I was just looking and look what I found on the american e-bay

I remember getting my first Voodoo1 add on card and all my mates coming round to see the graphics in glquake etc. I then got a Voodoo2 12MB and then my last 3dfx card was a V3 3500 after that it was jump ship to NVidia. But I do beleave without 3DFX the world of 3D gameing would be very different now.

YES, I had 2 VooDoo 2's in SLI for 24MB of video ram, and GL Quake, and need for speed 2 played awesome! I loved my Glide games. I cant belive that VooDoo 6000 sold for 920.00:D .

Actually, you did not have 24MB of VRAM. The 12MB Voodoo 2s had 4MB of frame buffer, and 4MB on each of two TMUs, meaning an effective 8MB of memory, but faster multi-texturing.

The effective memory for SLI was 8MB frame buffer, and 4MB of texturing with up to 4 passes per texture.

I just don't understand why some one would spend that much money on a such a old card ,that not good for nothing but just saying you have one ,Nearly $1000, he could of bought two 7950GX2 ,but if he has that kind of money to throw away ,he probally can afford to get two 7950GX2 anyway.
I still have my Voodoo PCI 5500 64mb.I should hook it up and see what it will run.
