Hello everyone- my first post here heh, how do you convert a Mac Voodoo 5 PCI 5500 (I believe thats the card- 64mb dual GPU with DVI?) to the PC version? I donloaded a BIOS update, but when I went to flash the BIOS on the card, I ran the .exe's and I dont think anything happened... a cmd prompt window flshed onscreen for less than a second, it flickered really, and unless the whole process doesnt take very long, I dont think it flashed the BIOS.
I intend to use the voodoo 5 pci as a second video card, as there is already an AGP Ati Rage 128 installed. Mac OS X does not support 3Dfx cards, and I hate to see my voodoo go to waste. I installed the card in my Dell Dimension 4300 (running windows xp home with service pack 1 installed I belive) this morning, got the PC BIOS, ran the executables to flash the BIOS, and went to install drivers.
The Microsoft supplied driver did not install- my coputer hung with the installation progress bar full for a few seconds, crashed at a blue screen and rebooted. I downloaded several other 3rd party drivers, amigamerlin's drivers, and darkmane's drivers, which also crashed while installing. I simply can't get this card to work with windows. Does anyone know of drivers that work? Do I have to remove the AGP card and run my monitor off the vodoo card while i install drivers? Help? Thanks in advance.
