Default VooDoo 3D cards

The Voodoo2 card had three separate chips (one pixelFX and two texelFX aka
TMU) manufactured on an old process. The Voodoo3 integrated everything onto
a single 0.25-um die, allowing twice the clock speed. The memory interface
was also doubled to 128-bits. Architecturally the Voodoo2, Banshee and
Voodoo3 were all the same.

BTW, the Voodoo2 has 2D capability. It can be used in a multi-monitor
configuration, using v1.00 beta drivers under Win2K. Well-known limitations
of 16-bit color and 1024x768 maximum resolution still apply.

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


I thought the Banshee was more related to the Voodoo 2, except
for the 2D capability (they where also in PCI as well as AGP), and the
single TMU.
