The difference between v3 2000 and 3500 is the clocks..it was a dangerous step to flash the 3500 bios..

I know, is´t dangerous but I buy this card for 10 dollars and is for testing. I like the opengl colours, 3dfx give me remembers of my first 3d accelerator card. v3 3000 on year 2000 .

know i use nvidia for playing, but 3dfx not forgotten

I would strongly advise to improve the cooling system of the card.
( Put a fan on that heatshink ).
Mine V3 2000 has 5.5ns, and shows artifacts already at 166MHz, with a cooler !
