Whats this kind of Voodoo ?

[TM30]

no, voodoo 1 is nearly impossible, because of the date and name of the chips (BE & CK) and that 100Mhz RAM. My guess, its a protoype of a low cost voodoo2... in fact, when it has only one TMU, it has the performance of a Voodoo Banshee! So perhaps 3dfx designed it as a very early Banshee (without 2D Part...)

But i think i can tell you what it's really is when i get it I'm awaiting the package... it comes from USA to Germany, so i think 2 weeks

You own a prototype look at the date of the chip.
Even creative and Diamond didn't had chips at that date.

ahem.

Be aware that chips just don't appear by magic the week a card is sold- It's not uncommon for the chips to pre-date the card by several weeks since a stockpile of units has to be built up before shipping.

An example the other direction is I have several 1997 Obsidian boards with Voodoo Graphics chips dated 2496.

TM30's card looks to be either a true prototype or considering the markings a sample sent out to a card maker for evaluation (reference board as part of a development kit)

That's one small Voodoo2, the smallest in size and smallest amount of ram I've ever seen, Congrats! TM30
