This is a forum for discussion about topics of intrest to people who own and wish to modify thier V5 5500 and V5 6000 cards now i own 1 of these cards and i wish to mod this same said card to give it a longer life span as a game card..

I played and beat RTCW in 1152-864res in 32bit now if it can do that with 64mb at 166mhz what could it do with 128mb at 200mhz..
My Girlfriend loves it she reckons it out performs my old GF2 MX200 32mb SDR and my GF2 MX200pro 64mb DDR cards..

Currently i'm running mine at 180mhz (i modded and then flashed the bios back to the card so i don't have to run overclock sw)stable as a rock now what i want do is to increase the ram total and the speed so as to be able to get more life out of it..

Amp_man if Hank wants to do either then who gives a damn..
Now pleeeeeeeeeease can we let it end there..
Lecram and i got off on the wrong foot now we have no probs can we all just try to learn about our cards and keep it nice and friendly???

Thanx Lecram..

I'm constantly amazed by some ppl..

please, don't ask hank to email you instructions, WE ALL want them, so it's much more convenient and feisable to simply post them.

Ummm just wondering if you read the bit where it says could you POST them OR e-mail them to me..
I really would like every1 to have them as that is what the community is all about..
I only asked for both on a whim for what reason who knows (and who cares)...
My point is: What does it matter to you if he e-mailed 'em to me anyway???

Hank i really want to play with my V5 5500 as it is coming out of the gf's machine in about a month..

So if you can post the instructions or e-mail 'em to me i would really appreciate it..

Thanx:D

This is true the one i have reports 4mb for the Rush addon card and 6mb for the main card..
Just wondering if this is a mistake in the Herc drivers or is this a version with 10mb???

I also checked in DXdiag and in aida32 3.85 and they say the same(as far as they go)..

Any feed back apreciated

I have a Hercules Stingray 128 with a Voodoo rush on it and i'm looking for the most upto date drivers i can get for win98 winME and winXP..

It is a nice if somewaht bulky looking card.

Voodoo 2 12mb
Voodoo Banshee AGP 16mb
Voodoo 5 5500 AGP 64mb

But still thanx for a response..

As to my earlier question could any1 with data on modding the V5 5500 please e-mail it to me i really am interested in all things Voodoo..

I still think if RnD had continued they would have passed the Nvidia and ATi offerings of today.. imho

Hiya Lecram i'm 1 of those n00bs you mentioned b4 just a quick lesson in life just bcoz you haven't posted b4 does NOT mean that you know nothing..
I've been playing with and into computers since 1979 with my Vic 20 and a datasette..
So please will you leave the topic alone and post meaningful post's..

Sorry all for that but i have just read the whole thread from start and i have to say bravo Hank you are indeed a techno god...
All Hail..
I own 2 voodoo 2's an 8mb and a 12mb and they are working just fine in a IBM Aptiva K6-2-400 with 512mb ram
I also own a Banshee 16mb Ref card that lives in my mum inlaw's pII 300 with 256mb ram
I also own a Voodoo 5 5500 that lives in my GF's AMD 2000+ with 256mb PC2700
Sadly i can't use my V5 in my system due to the AGP slot not supporting it.. (1.5/3.3 debate and all that)
I also plan to Get my hands on a Voodoo 5 6000 soon..
My main concern is can you just piggyback the same type of Hyundai 5ns SDram or is there something blocking that from being done...
Please excuse my rambles...
