I heard it mentioned by someone in the 3dfx marketing, as far as I can tell it was just a statement to take heat off 3dfx for not making a AGPx4/32 bit color part.

By the time the press figured it was all B.S. VSA-100 would have been on the market and 3dfx could have claimed it was un-needed.

I'd be very happy to be proven wrong on this one though.

I will ask but I think it does not exist. For the v4 4000, If there is one...this is the one I dont know the owner either, I'm sorry

Uhm, I heard somebody mention Voodoo3 4000
Ahh, yes, the heavily discussed Voodoo3 4000 was one of our main interests and boy did we get some answers. Basically now, the Voodoo3 4000 is just a made up name that has been floating around (fishy stuff, if you know what I mean). The "Voodoo3 4000" is just basically somebody's description of the Voodoo3 3000 with an AGP 4X implementation. There will be a product supporting AGP 4X, but whether it will be named Voodoo3 4000 or not has still not been discussed. There might be a product named Voodoo3 4000, but if so, there might be more to it than just the AGP 4X interface.

Well it might be a Daytona card, it is missing alot of parts though, so I think you're messed up with the Voodoo4-2 4200 PCI+DVI 32MB DDR and Voodoo4-2 4800 AGP + TV-Out 32MB DDR.

3dfx Voodoo4 4000 AGP 16MB SDR:

3dfx Voodoo4-2 4200 PCI + DVI 32MB DDR:

3dfx Voodoo4-2 4800 AGP + TV-Out 32MB DDR:

And again you might be right, though the differences are quite visable.

It would have been a huge waste of resources and time, both of which 3dfx did not have in 1999.

I found out who the previous owner was : Logicalmadness
If you want to know simply ask him, maybe he is willing to give you the answers your looking for.

Ironically I found this info accidentally on the FalconFly forum. This is an old post of Patience:

CONGRATULATIONS and i'm sincere

i own "only" a Q3d X24, a beautiful card

hum, the seller is Logicalmadness, this guy has probably serious financial problems, he sold in march his 3DFX collection voodoo 4/5 & 6000 :
voodoo 4 4000 AGP 16mb SDRAM (Non-functional)
voodoo 4 4500 PCI 32mb SDRAM (functional)
voodoo 5 5000 PCI 32mb SGRAM (2D ok, 3D locks up randomly )
voodoo 5 5500 AGP 64mb SDRAM (functional)
and a voodoo 5 6000 AGP 128mb SDRAM (non-functional because of a few bumped resistors)
