| If you're trying to sell it you could probably still get like 50-75 dollars for it. Not because it can perform well at all compared to current tech, but because there are still a decent amount of 3dfx fans who want a peice of the history that still works.

| I'm a fan of the 3dfx stuff, but not to that extent. I've got a 3dfx Voodoo 3 2000 in my kids' machine. Maybe I ought to sell it?  |

| I recently sold two Voodoo 3 2000 PCI cards on Ebay, got about $40 each for them. As for the 5500, they are still popular with the Flight SIm crowd as a lot of the older Flight Sims used 3dfx.

| It would be fair to say you would find some of these 3dfx fanboys on Ebay .

| Robbie if you do decide to get rid of that card, I'd be interested in doing some swapping for it.

| Nice card - a piece of history... But for sheer 3Dfx 'god' status it would have to be a Voodoo 5 6000. 4 GPU's, 128MB VRAM and as long as your arm...

| I heard there were only a handfull of working V5 6000's in the world. Most of the ones that came out were duds produced in the last weeks of 3Dfx What was the revenge card going to be like? 16VPU's, 1024MB SDR, 4 card SLI......

aparently the person responsible for it was deported out of the us after 9/11 and had some spinal cancer i believe. He was supossed to have had the sourcecode given to him from someone at nvidia who he never revealed who it was. He had the corporate contacts to fund production i think.. but I think he succumbed to the cancer and took the secret with him.. i think he said he would give the code to a trusted person. but my memory is not so good on the subject as i only joined the forums when i got my voodoo5500 for a short time. I woulda kept using it because it worked just fine with my celeron 733, only problem was some games i wanted to play with that comp (renegade) were dx8.1 and wouldnt work properly with it the terrain became transparent makin it alost impossble to play, couldnt see where you was goin cos of inisible walls
