A big thanks to the board member <fish> who helped me bring this one home from Europe and a hand gesture of a different sort to your mail system for being so damn slow!

I could have rowed a darn boat over faster! 42 days!

But happy =)

I'm happy that it finally showed up. And if I get this f****** post officer in my hands.......

Nice card. I only own the module but therefore boxed.

Hey Fish, with this inclusion..
we are all awaiting for you to post your entire collection on the board..

come on.. will take only 15 to 20 minutes
lets expand the magical total number of items tabulated!

:o what is this? MP540/3D Overdrive?? i don't know it! :-[  Would be someone so gentle to tell me about this wonderful card???

Thanks :-X

p.s. seems to be a VoodooRush series....but about double PCI connector? What else?.....

It's a villagetronic MP540 PCI-card for the MAC with a voodoo 1 add-on called "3D Overdrive"  ;)

Here are some early images about my MP540:

Aha! So it is a Picasso! Is it a combined card? (normal pci card for 2D + 3dfx pci module called "3D overdrive" with Voodoo Graphics chipset for 3D acceleration....is it correct?)

Thanks Surrimugge ;)

Yes, the 2D card has header connections for the Voodoo Graphics module. Short of a boxed unit I think it's one of the rarest 3dfx cards that found for a Mac.

....yes, very nice card! I like it much! I want it ;D

At moment, i have got only this for mac....

Yes, I know. But at the momet I'm a bit short of time.  Have to to my final tests at university and then I promise to post my collection.

How much memory does this card have?

http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/MacPicasso/

8MB Voodoo Graphics
4MB 2D (rumored to be a Cirrus Logic part)

There is a heatsink on the 2d chip, no way to tell what it is.

I'll press the thumbs for you  ;) (Daumen drücken)

Thanks, will need it.  ;D

Card works perfect, odd seeing voodoo graphics rendering in a window.

Works great on the 6400 but for some reason the G3 would not even boot up, very odd.

GLQuake/Rave = 22 fps at 640 x 480 with 180 mhz 6400.
