Because these are cards I can still use dayly, with my other cards ( for directx 9 ).

But I think E-bay is the way to go, when you want voodoo cards.

Lol verrek jij bent ook Nederlands. Kdenk dat de rest het niet zo leuk vind dat we Nederlands lullen. Ja ok ik typte nogal brak, ik geef het toe.

In English:
LOL You are also Dutch. I think that the rest would not appreciate it if we talk Dutch in this Forum. Yes ok, I have to admit I had a lot of spelling errors.

Nice collection, you are lucky to have friends that sell a Skywell.
But what I wanted to ask you was, what kind of brand does your Memory chips have. And does somebody know where to get Edo-ram, I mean the chips not the complete modules. They used them for Graphics cards and so. If someone knows a place of a company that still makes them???
Or knows a card that is uses 110/125mhz Edo-ram (not the Voodoo2).

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

Well the Memory brand on my Skywell Technologies Magic 3DII PLuS 24MB is: Ellete MT @ 100Mhz

and from my Skywell Technologies Magic 3D 4MB is: tm tech 100Mhz

[perer]

Well than I am happy. because EliteMT still excist. Silicon Magic doesn't exist any more . My Maxi Gamer2 have also EliteMT memory.
Know I now where to search, maybe they also make/made 125mhz models.
I will just have to try to get a pair of those chips, and build them on my voodoo2's (people this is possible). And than I can reach maybe 130mhz!!!!!! Which proper cooling offcourse.

Well it also depends on your Voodoo2 Chips them selves, if they can't cope higher that 100Mhz it's not going to be usefull. The highest I came with my Dual Skywell Technologies Voodoo2 12MB's was 120Mhz parallel, that was as for the cores as the mem. [synchroom]

[perer]

I know from a couple of sources, that there are only 1 type of voodoo2 chip. It is not like a Athlon XP that there are superior steppings. Even the never to be released Revision 3 voodoo2 boards would have used the same voodoo2 chips. It all depends on the memory for overclocking or cooling. I have never heard or got an idea that there where better Voodoo2 chips. 3Dfx has never done this from which I heard. Even with the voodoo1 which suffered of extreme heat, they never made any revisions. The only improvement that I know of is the VSA-101 but that it is a revisions is clear to see in the name. From what I know of there is no superior Voodoo2 chip. It all lays back on the memory speed, The highest overclock that I got with 120mm cooling no heatsinks was 117mhz, that's the limit of the memory. I CAN run it stable on 110mhz!!!!!!!! (no joke). Also your voodoo2's and Mine are based on the reference design, but only one uses faster memory. but is stil a reference design. Revision 3 would just be a voodoo2 board with faster memory nothing more (125mhz used on the Mercury).

searching for:
voodoo3 x000PCI
voodoo4 4500PCI

[NitroX infinity]

- Voodoo 3 3000 AGP Rev 5199 C (SDRAM)
- Voodoo 5 5500 AGP Rev 1900 ?

That's it for my collection. Don't have much money so I'm not in a position to gather more Voodoo's

[Nightbird]

Don't worry, you begin with 2 good VoodooCards

[NitroX infinity]

How do you figure?
The V3 is a standard card and the V5 is an early model which won't clock beyond 175MHz. Nothing good about that

[Nightbird]

- This is a Voodoo3 and seems to me that this card was probably faster than a TNT in 16 bits
- I own several Voodoo5's in different revisions but i don't o/c them

LOL I also have a Voodoo3 3000 AGP +TV-Out 16MB SDRAM Rev 5199 C and my other Voodoo3 3000 AGP + TV-Out is a Rev 2399 C

that is pretty early for a Voodoo3 3000 AGP +TV-Out I suppose....

My latest Voodoo3 is the Voodoo3 3000 PCI 16MB SGRAM Rev 1700 D.

oh here it is:

[Blazkowicz]

Hi, I'm Blazkowicz from France, and I haven't got that much

Voodoo1 Helios 4MB
Voodoo2 Creative Labs 12MB
2x Voodoo2 Techworks 12MB in SLI
Voodoo5 5500 AGP (bought in new condition eight monthes ago, that's a great upgrade , now enjoying some UT2003 and max payne 2)

I'd love to get a V5 6K but I'd have to win some kind of lottery I guess

I guess I could afford a Hammerhead FX though

PS : too bad there wasn't a SECAM version of V3 3500TV , what can I do with f***ing PAL or NTSC. that's why this card is very rare in m country

[InSomNiaN]

My small collection is:

Voodoo1 4mb
Voodoo3 3500 TV AGP
Voodoo 4 4500 AGP
Voodoo 5 AGP
Voodoo 5 PCI <- newest addition!!!
