3dfx voodoo 5 6000

[Whalen]

Anyone interested to sell a V56k to me?

I'm building a retro computer and being a 3Dfx freak makes me want to own a 6000.

So anyone, price ideas?

Not yet, been busy playing with Mercury this week.

I need to find a KT-333 board that supports a 3000+ Barton, just have not had the time. A new one would be best, not many vendors selling them though.

I have a nice rack-mount case picked out for it already =)

The ASUS A7V333-R support Barton 3000+ with Bios 1017. The one I have now is a Rev.1.04 with Bios 1017, and a 333Mhz FSB 2700+ and the Barton 3200 is also possible but then with a 333Mhz FSB. 256 & 512KB cashes are fully compliant with Bios 1017.

V5 6000 doesnt boot in that mainboard, it was tested by Cosworth6K.

Won a Ultra 2 with raid today on Ebay, now to wait 2+ weeks for it to show up.

Best ram for this board?

Question- Will the Ultra 2 boot up with a Barton 3000+ if it doesn't have the most current bios? Or just not display CPU correct? I hate to buy a slower CPU just so I could flash the board.

If the board doesnt support the 3000+ It will work with Athlon 1400 speeds I think. But maybe the board doesnt need to be flashed at all. I only have the first MSI and that one does need to be flashed to support the 3000+. I think that 1024 MB of DDR333 will be more than enough to support you v5 6000, at least it worked good enough for me.
Good luck

Another question for MSI Ultra 2 owners- Is the board picky about ram? Which Barton 3000+ to choose from? I checked NewEgg this morning and there is 3 different Barton 3000+ cpu's! I assume one of the 266 or 333 bus units have to be used.

Been years since I have run an AMD CPU, sorry for all the questions!
