here some nice onfo of the Voodoo5 6000, an interview with Scott Sellers from Beyond 3D

http://www.beyond3d.com/interviews/sellers/

Scotty says:

" Right now, 3dfx as a company is going back to basics, going back to what we know, and what we dominated which is high performance 3D and we're gonna kick anyone in the teeth that's in that segment! We're gonna become king of the hill once again."

Way To Go Scotty!!!

The thing that counts is that the EPoX EP-8K3A+ the latest board is with the VIA Apollo KT333 chipset.

Not exactly. EP-8K5A3+ is The Ultimate motherboard for V5-6K owner. It was the most feature packed KT333-based motherboard. Everything from 8K3A+ plus 4-port IDE RAID controller (unique feature), onboard 10/100Mbit LAN adapter, four RAM slots, small improvements in BIOS, onboard gameport, better package (i.e. 4 additional USB-connectors instead of 2) and few other minor differences.

Once it was the best motherboard for Socket A, before NForce 2 approached on the market.

This would give the V6K the shot in the arm it needs.

Obi-Wan_Kenobi Ex Member	Re: V5-6000 information wanted Reply #85 - 03.01.06 at 00:13:52 hmm don't see the difference be tween an OverDrive CPU or a real one, should I see it as a K8 with 462 Pin layout ? or a K8 on a K8 to K7 Socket 462 Convertor?

Hmm What about that 200 Mhz Voodoo5 6000 that could be 3 possible things.

A: A Rev.A3 3400 with 5.4 ns SDRAM and an extreemly high OC

B: A Rev.A3 3400 with 5ns SDRAM with a default speed of cores/mem @ 183Mhz OC'ed to 200Mhz

C: A Rev.A3 3700 with 5ns SDRAM with a default Cores/mem speed @ 200Mhz aka the mystery V6K.

I really wonder about this 200Mhz card, I did hear rumor about a V6K @ 200Mhz and I always have believed somewhere that there is a Rev.A3 card at that speed, just dunno if it was a Rev.A3 3400 with extreem OC , or extreem mem timings or a Rev.A3 3700 .

Any more info on this critter?

If I recall, it had faster ram and Mercury heatsinks on the ram.
