Do you guys remember the VooDoo 3D cards? Will these add any performance to
my existing AGP setup, or are they only intended to imporve PCI?

I'm getting a ATI X850XL soon.

They were only PCI anyway. It wasn't a case of only being intended to
improve PCI, AGP didn't exist.

Most onboard 3D solutions can beat a Voodoo 3D.



Except for V3's, 4, 5...

The first AGP was the Voodoo Banshee, it combined 2d/3d, whereas
previously you needed to link your existing 2d card with the PCI Voodoo
addin via a clunky VGA passthrough cable.

The Voodoo 3 and Banshee were loosely related, the Banshee for example
was almost the same card but with 1 TMU.
