"Hot" card of Pentium2 era?
Could someone recommend what might have been the hottest, old-style AGP slot card around in the late Pentium 2 days, maybe 2000-2001, to replace my tired TNT? I could then search Ebay for it. I need Glide support and TV out, preferably S-Video. The 1998 "STB Velocity 4400 w/TV Out" is in my old Pentium 2(400MHz/128MB/Soyo SY-6BA motherboard/W98se) recently replaced by a new Dell and networked downstairs for Web and game duty to a new Sony flatscreen. It will never equal the Dell for Red Baron, et al, and I'm guessing dgVoodoo is way too demanding for a P2/400 *regardless* of the card (sure is impossible with the TNT), so inherent Glide support is probably important. I haven't been keeping up, but is Voodoo 5 a candidate? Voodoo 3? Many thanks! Travis |

I'd go with a Voodoo3 3500. I think that's what I had in my old Dell

Many thanks for reading my post. The Voodoo3 3500 does have TV Out as well as the Glide support I'm looking for. "coffeesavant" wrote in message ... I'd go with a Voodoo3 3500.

I don't think that the Voodoo5 5500 had TV out, IIRC. Otherwise, it would be
the card that you're looking for (if you can find one).

If you really need this feature then try Voodoo3 3000 (with TV out) or the V3 3500. But if performance is more important than TV out then V5500 is the your best bet. |

I'm running a voodoo2 on a K6-III 550MHz XP pro system for Wing Commander Prophecy. Also try http://www.3dfxzone.it/index.php These are 3rd party drivers, fast and relatively stable. Use it on the Voodoo2 and just have a few triangle glitches once in a while. Works way better than the wrappers I've tried for my G4. |
