..more updates.unfortunately,the parts from US have never arrived for reasons unknown.this does sound bad,but the additional time has been spent well.the last prototype was not able to run with another agp card in pc,this has been fixed.and more important,this is a major step in solving the v5 6k winxp problem (only one chip working when using an agp2pci under xp).so right now,additional R&D is taking place,delaying the "retail" product even further,but I say,its going to be well worth it 

stay tuned..

..that may happen in future far,far away

let us wait for the agp5 first

Yeps , I'll be looking forward to see them in action also.  8)

hmm nice for our GeForce and Radeon cards but not for our Voodoo AGP x2 3.3 Volt cards.

Albatron Releases PCI Express Bridge for AGP 8x Graphics Cards.

that ain't gonna work
because AGP x8 is only reverse compatible with AGP x4 Universal cards with 1.5 volts that are cards  like the Voodoo4 4500 AGP 32MB the only usable card for those converters.

The Voodoo5 5000, 5500 & 6000 cards for example need to mork in AGP x2 AGP X4 universal slots that support 3.3 volt cards.

well it is cheaper than buying an entirely new card, I wasn't plannin got replace my XFX GeForce 6800GT AGP Dual DVI 256MB GDDR3 1.8ns Rev.A 3604 for like another year or so , and there may be more people that won;t do that.

So an AGP2PCI-E converter is a cheaper way to solve that problem, it's cheaper and much more sufficiant and in the most cases AGP x8 is faster than PCI-E x16, there are enough benchmarks to prove that. AGP x8 just has better support, there are still many bugs in PCI Express that's gonna take another year or 2 before that clears up and by far it's too expensive also so not that interesting for the most users.

woops , yeah I suppose I got confused, well it maybe modable hehe, that's where we tweakers come in to place 8)

big day today.the parts from US have finally arrived.that means all that needs to be fixed is that 6k+xp=single chip mode problem (still not done,but on a good way),and we are ready to roll

its just one guy (not me of course,I cant even solder a broken off capacitor ,I'm just lurking around and translating)

one more thing.the adaptor is NOT meant to work with any other card than 3dfx voodoo3 and voodoo5,and its only real purpose is to allow 6k users to run their behemoth of voodoo power in new motherboards.this adaptor is not an item of common use,just like the 6k.so the price might be a bit higher (certainly not $30-40).just like Hank said,stop moaning about the price,it wont help.bringing a homebrew piece of hardware to small production is not exactly cheap (and easy).and the purpose of this project IS NOT profit I would like to add,the guy is making it just for guns&glory..the price will be adequate,dont worry.nothing a 6k user (or even a 5.5k user like me) cant afford to pay
