Creative Blaster Banshee 16mb AGP wtf

I picked up a Creative 3D Blaster Banshee 16mb AGP with SGRAM new in its box and on the box it says the Banshee engine was based on the Voodoo 2 chipset, is there any truth to this?

Yes. I'm quoting from gdonovan's 3dfx-page:
Quote:
Banshee was 3dfx's first in-house integrated 2d/3d solution. In simple terms it was a Voodoo 2 with only one texture management unit paired to an excellent 128 bit 2d core on a single 0.35-micron chip running at 100/100 mhz compared to the Voodoo 2's 90 mhz clock. In games that did not use multi-texturing the Banshee had the edge over Voodoo 2 due to it's higher clock speed. In games that utilized multi-texturing the Voodoo 2 was faster due to the extra texture management unit.
