If You need Somebody Call My Name Wink

hehe a good ole phrase from Sting, but greek hehe that would be cool, but not many speak that language , or some might.

anyway I was wondering if there was a Voodoo5 6000 AGP 128MB Rev.A3 3500 and 3700, I did hear about these, but I wasn't so sure about them, they are still floating around in my head Lips Sealed

hmm yeah I thought so, it was said that it was a Rev.A3 3400 with 6ns ram @ 183Mhz, it's ram was 6ns because the one with 183Mhz 5.4 ns ram aka the Rev.A3 3400 had stabillity problems at high Memory speeds maybe that is why 3dfx decided to use 6ns Ram @ 183Mhz for the Rev.A3 3700.

After the Rev.A3 3700 the Rev.A3700 came then shortly followed by the last ever made Voodoo5 6000 the Rev.A 3900.

Only two of model 3900 exsist, gdonovan and Omega-Supreme are the great and happy owners of those two beasts.

The later cards had -6 ram and 166 mhz clock speed because 3dfx thought that would fix the stability problems, it didn't.

Are known to *still* exsist. According to someone I talked too, a minimum of 10 engineering samples are/were made for any boards.

Obi-wan and I can translate it into Dutch Wink

Note sure thats possible guys the logistics are daunting- Currently there are 49 pages to my site and just translating to Spanish and German alone will add 98 pages of work.

Combine that with regular edits and corrections the information would have to be rechecked and re-translated again for every page.

Ugh.

Have to see if there is an easy way to do it.

Thandor Ex Member What's the fuzz all about?	Re: V5-6000 information wanted Reply #57 - 14.07.05 at 20:42:16 Hmm, rewriting the hole site into a different language is a lot of work. Although English is a worldlanguage and that shouldn't be a problem for the most people on the internet Rewriting the V5 6K FAQ in different languages is not a big problem since it's only one (long,big) page

How about Dutch? http://www.thedodgegarage.com/3dfx/v6k_faq_nl.html A few key pages are being done like the V6K FAQ, V6K benchmarks and maybe Rampage if people are willing to do the work.
