well, I got it too...........

Not long ago, a friend asked me the folowing question;

"Why you try to play new games on the old graphic card ( voodoo )?
Dose it make graphic better ( than other graphic card today )? does game run better?  IF not, why bother to do so?"

I don't know how to answer those questions, thought I can understand on the "spiritual" level why voodoo people want to do this, but that can't make a non voodoo people to understand why insist to play new games on Voodoo since there are better way to play. Even some times I have doubt why I collecting voodoo. ( around 15 of them )

Can you help me clear my mind? so I can have a good answer back to my friend.
Thank you very much

Greetings,
I see you all using P MMX CPU for 3dfx, is it has some special effect that work better with 3dfx? Why not PII or PIII CPU since those are cheap now?
please forgive me if this is a dumb question.
Thank you!

FYI
Thank you for the suggestion, I got A Diamond Monster Fusion ( Banshee)AGP in hand now, start looking for VoodooRush....
Just curious, Is Voodoorush considered as a Generation? or just a transitional product?

Thanks!

Dear 3dfxer,
I have been collecting 3dfx card after I join this forum not long ago.
Sincerely hope you can give me some advices.

Here are what I have;

1 v5500 agp
1 v5500 pci
1 v4500 agp
2 v4500 pci
1 v3000 agp
4 v2    pci  (3 Diamond monster 3d2 12mb 1 STB 12mb < BlackMagic?> )
1 v1    pci  (Orchid Righteous 3d 4mb)

As you can see, I am not trying to get rare item since I don't have money for those, just like to have some touch from each Voodoo generation.

So, what should I look after next? V3500?
If it not bother too much, can you tell me why should I go for your suggestion?

Thank you very much!!!!

@4eRNoBiL,
Thank you for the detail tech advice!

Sorry that I did not post new topic to ask question, I were too exciting when I saw Voodoo5 built lots of " Old System " and can't wait to ask....

Hi Dear All,
I 've been thinking about build a 3dfx system for old time game, but I can't make up my mind what CPU speed should I go with.
I have lots DOS games and I am afraid those game will run like crazy if I use "too advanced" CPU.
Can someone give me advices?

Thank you very much!!
