If a guy wanted to start a collection...where could he get a list of every voodoo card ever produced by 3dfx?

Maybe the producers of Star Trek could 'beam' the list to you? Cheesy

Methinks you're asking for the impossible! Roll Eyes Tongue

Remember... Wink

1. There are MORE Voodoo products than JUST GFX cards...(arcade machines anyone?) Wink

2. Not all 3Dfx products are made BY 3Dfx! Roll Eyes

3. Making a list of EVERYTHING would take FOREVER! Shocked

Nuff said! 8)

Well, I wouldn't be so pessimistic about that plan.

Just do the following :

- search existing Collector's Thread for Manufacturers, Brands and Models
- search existing "Identify 3dfx Hardware Sites" (e.g. Plasma Online)
- search Ebay for less known 3dfx Manufacturers
- search known Manufacturers for further 3dfx Products in their past portofolio
- search Driver Sites for special / less known Brand names

And there you go, that alone would be a gigantic list, almost readily available at your hands.
And that doesn't take forever, maybe a day or so.

Heh, I'm not THAT pessimistic @Falcon, but like @Patience said - I was taking @Hammer LITERALLY! Roll Eyes

And a list of absolutely EVERY single 3Dfx product, including all 3Dfx 'brand' cards, third party cards, arcade hardware, prototype hardware, etc...would take forever! Shocked

But, sure, a list of much of the hardware that we already know of is quite possible! Wink

Hm, before we swamp every Thread with totally normal 3dfx Ebay Auctions, please post those in the "Great Deals on Ebay" Thread Wink

(there are about 200 3dfx Auctions in EBay Germany alone, let's hope nobody links all those *g* )

My post was for information about what it is?..Not to Inandate the board with links to auctions...I felt it was no different than How I started the thread to begin with...I.E. A noob looking for info...However the thread got turned around into other things, and that was allowed...which doesnt bother me...But now it seems as though the rules have changed...OK again I guess...lol..its your forum!...Take care

*ugh*

Well, the Item is described as a Guillemot Maxi Gamer Phoenix, and it looks like one too (?) Wink

Thus my confusion, since it clearly states that. A normal Banshee Card it is...

Well bro Im really not looking for anything that would be a downgrade from a Voodoo 3 3000...But I just dont know what Im looking at sometimes in these ebay auctions....that card didnt say Banshee...all it said was 16 meg....so ouy of curiosity I wanted to know what it was....I assume what I have now is better than a banshee?...but back to "what" Im looking for...Really just knowledge so I know what to look for...lmao!...and Im not trying to be combative with those whom I wish to gather that knowledge from....lol...but I must admit seemed as a double standard to be told to post it somehwere else...If Im wrong then Im sorry..

Well, my BLUE Gigabyte Banshee arrived today! Grin

All I can say is... Roll Eyes

"It's BLUE ba-be-de-ba-ba-da...[no I will NOT sing the whole song! - LOL!]" Grin

A VERY nice Banshee card! 8)

However, although the card is BLUE like Falcons (same RAM too...). Roll Eyes

Mine is an earlier revision  - v1.0 (looks like they had to fix a few problems on the early revision cards to get them to work). Tongue

Mine only has ONE electrolytic capacitor on the PCB (the one to the right of the crystal). ???

And there is a surface mount resistor soldered BETWEEN R47 and R48 at the lower left of the HSF. ???

Also, the heatsink is BLUE, like the card...(can't see if Falcons heatsink is blue?) Tongue

Anyhow, might get some pic's up sometime for a comparison... 8)
