Title: Voodoo5 5500 AGP & Motherboard/CPU combination
Post by sToRmInG on 31.12.13 at 15:20:00

Hi @ all

I purchased a Voodoo5 5500 AGP 8-) and I know try to find a suitable configuration (Motherboard/CPU).

So far I own a PIII-S 1.13GHz. Therefore I thought of buying a TUSL2-C which is compatible with the Voodoo5.

Other options would be a CUV4X-E with a PIII 1000EB or even a A7V333 with an Athlon XP 3000+ or 3200+.

What do you guys think about those configurations? Which one should I select?

To test my Voodoo5 5500 asap it arrives, I have an K7SEM with an Athlon 1100+

i have a P4 1.6Ghz with an AGP 4x/2x slot. But i think some games doesn't like the P4 architecture (like Descent 3, often crashing in my face for no reason), so this is why i'm looking for a P3 board supporting up to a 1.4Ghz CPU, because i noticed Descent 3 doesn't crash on my P3 733Mhz setup at all.

Acrually, the best Athlon to have is the XP-M 3000+,, unlocked multiplier, cooler and 2.2Ghz
