(Compared to a standard Voodoo Graphics a Q3D SB50-4440 and a Q3D 100DB?) No idea- Depends if the board works and if the applications support 3 TMU's.

Voodoo Graphics SLI with 6 TMU total, 32 MB of ram.

This means 16 MB per Voodoo Graphics chipset = 4 MB per chip (1 FBI + 3 TMU = 4 chips)...

If Q3D would have built such a card it would have been the Obsidian 100SB-4444.

That is really awesome - normal Voodoo Graphics had one TMU, Q3D which was high-end hat two TMU's but this is the monster par excellence aka highest-end...

$8000-$9000 USD+ per board (if my notes were right)

I have to double check the ram chip markings, the P-I ads indicate 64 not 32 mb of ram with the SLI board attached.

Yes it certainly is... ... If there was a 100SB 4444 it would have been 24MB

And it looks like you can strap (SLI) more cards together?

Any insight on that Gary?

See: http://www.thedodgegarage.com/3dfx/primary_image.htm there is a bunch of info there in regards to the board. Happy-Happy! The disc I was given is chuckloaded with drivers, demos and manuals, yippie!

The manual doesn't indicate so but it does have a connector that looks like for a floppy drive plug. I will proceed with caution of course.

I'm testing the board now, so far not bad. 1) The board's green LED's are all lit. 2) Windows detects 2 Voodoo Graphics based devices. Just waiting for drivers to transfer over the network...

You see a glide driver is required and both these boards run through Tempest which doesn't have a normal glide handle. I do have glide dll's for Barracuda though.
