Not related to selling or buying, but I don't think you can run a DX8 demo on it since no Rampage that exists, has HW T&L. That was to be handled by a seperate chip called SAGE. And as far as I know, only Quake III Arena has been run on Rampage so don't get your hopes up on running any other game on it.

With the recent updates to my site I figured it was worth a promotional topic.

My website is mostly dedicated to my own collection with lot's of photo's and detailed information.
I also added a section for news related to my site/collection or the community and a section for articles
which I wrote. Right now there are only two but when my retro-system gets completed, I will add
such articles as overclocking and benchmarks.

But that's not all; the Voodoo Lists, which some of you might remember from FalconFly's forum have returned.
This time however, they're not available as text documents but as html pages.

Also note my marketplace where I have a large list of cards I'm looking for.
Most entries have images and a bit of information.

So please have a look at my site and let me know what you think of it!

- NitroX infinity

http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5237659032

Shipping of one item to Europe costs $29.75
Shipping of two items to Europe costs $41.50
That's $9 per item saved on shipment.

I figure buying even more saves more, so I'm organizing a 'group buy'. The question that comes to mind; anyone else in Europe interested in buying one (or several) of these?

Interested:
- NitroX infinity
- st4r4m4m4
- Rolo01

What is a V3 3500 TVsi?:
http://www.falconfly-central.de/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=general;action=display;num=1155173515

From what/where did you get 4ns SDR-SDRAM memory?

What kind of mouse are you using? Is it an USB or PS/2 mouse?
If it's a PS/2 mouse, did you put it in the right port (there are two, one for keyboards and one for mice). Did you install the drivers for the mouse?

Usually you can disable the onboard video in the BIOS.

QuoteOr, do all Voodoo5 5500 PCI cards with DVI go for so much?

Yes, here's why:

- The V5 5500 is the most powerfull regular Voodoo card available.
- It has a DVI connector.
- It's PCI so it will work in any modern motherboard.

Don't be amaazed, a boxed and sealed V5 5500 Mac goes for 150 dollars easily.

It looks a lot like a Gainward Dragon 4000 16MB SDRAM (Banshee)
See here: http://www.thedodgegarage.com/3dfx/banshee.htm
(scroll a bit down)

Anyone ever tried it?

"GrxClock"="120"
"MemClock"="120"
"MemClocking"="120"
"GraphicsClock"="120"

This apparently are registry entries for a Banshee.
Is memClock also available for Avenger and Napalm based cards?

Single Chip means it only uses the master chip and it's memory (effectively a V4 32MB).

Transform and Lightning is not possible on Voodoo's (or any card without it). It's a pure hardware technology. Use MesaFX if you want to fake it using software.

Not possible. Each chip has it's own memory. If you shut down one, you shut down it's memory too.

@GDonovan;
Okay, haven't read the post on FF's forum in a while, my apologies for the confusion.

@Raff3DC: The poerson who did this mod, said it got him about 300 extra points in 3DMark2001se.

An update from me:
The cards were tested under the following conditions;

Some notes:

- Windows98se does get you more points. I ran my P4 at 2,63GHz but with WindowsXP pro SP1 and used AmigaMerlin 3.0XP. I got a little under 200 points less than the Windows 98se overclock in this test.

- I have no idea at what speed my system memory was running at the time of the overclock, I apologize for that.

- I know there are differences when it comes to the operating software but I'm kinda sick and tired of reinstalling stuff since my last encounter with computer-hijacking malware (had to re-install WinXP like 4 times in 2 days and it took me over 2 months to finally get my system right again )

- I have no idea which Catalyst drivers I am using. The way everything is organized in this software is so messy compared to the 3dfx tools. Even a simple thing like finding out the version number is nearly impossible; you get 3 different ones for three seperate rendering engines


Now for the test results:
