This was the last time this Collection was assembled together as one.

As in some pieces are up for sale or they will all placed in safe storage?

No, they are not for sale; the Collecton has been split between its owners, and the Parts have now moved to the Owner's respective Countries.

I take a few buyers pooled their funds to make the purchase?

Exactly : me and Patience used combined efforts :)

I can't think of a better home, perhaps one day my collection will be as distinguished!

wow, nice story on the card purchase, you both have always made this seem like a welcome place for 3dfx fans and you seem to really enjoy 3dfx yourself's, so very nice you two got the ebay cards,,,,,now on the other hand too bad you got the cards cause i know you two aint gonna give them up either, but hey if they become a burden, i need the v5000, v6000 and of course the prototype 4500 :P

I'd like that comdex 6k :D.

So mystychat is patience?

I told you all along, that mystychat was Patience!

Although Patience herself, may not answer this question, it is easy enough to figure it out for yourselves guys! ;)

But definitively : i won the Ebay Collection using our combined efforts.

Ah, the post that slipped my gaze. 8)
I did not see this post ( I have a habit of missing some posts depending on when I jump into topics on this forum if I've been away for a couple of days or so).

Sorry for the ignorance Patience. Nice collection love. ;)

Hope everyone understands Geordie slang here Janskjaer... ::)

...for the unenlightened... :P

Nice collection love

In this context 'love' is the colloquial geordie term for 'miss' (note to Jan - it's actually spelt 'luv' in geordie!) ::)

For more geordie stuff go to... ;)

Bwahahahahaha [evil laugh!] ;D 8)

Too right mate! :D

Hi,

I would like to know the distribution between Patience and you. (prototype, Quantum3D, v5 6k...)

Regards,
Oscar

Hm, basically you could sort it in halfs :

Left = me
Right = Patience
(the 2 V5-6k's are the separating line more or less)

Therefore,

To FalconFly:
1 v5 6k 2x2 Chip Intel
1 v4 4500 DVI + TV-OUT

To Patience:
1 v5 6k 4x1 Rev3700
1 v4 4500 Beta
1 v3 3500 mem5ns

Some prototype more? :D

Thanks,
Oscar

EDITED

You can see here the "Pod" (the first design of the bue dome) with was with the V3 3500 TV 200 mhz (a 3dfx lab test card).

Wonderful Card :D

¿Have you tried the v4 4500 Beta? Is it functional?

p.d. I think that your v5 6k need the PCI REWORKS and the HOOKUP... Have you spoken with Hank Semenc?

Regards,
Oscar

@Patience - Just to let you know that it's actually SAFER to MOD the V5 6000 to run from an internal PSU. ;)

Why? ???

Because when using Voodoo volts you have TWO different ground and power sources - this in itself is intrinsically unsafe. :o

(sure it WORKS, but internal power is more stable and safer...) ::)

There is also the V5 6000 user group page, which gives directions on how to do the power MOD - but the page moved recently (can't remember the new address...) ???

Well that's what I say anyhow... :P

WOW! Great pics! I'm glad to see they went to good homes! It took years to put the collection together. By the way, the 4500 prototype not only DOES work but works well - or at least it did when I got it. If I remember correctly though, the heatsink does not make good contact with the chip but it may have been fixed by now. The cards actually never required them anyway.

I'm with you Patience in that I prefer to use the external PS with the 6k however if you ever change your mind, I have some of the lugs that are used to attach the wires if you need them.

FYI - I'll probably be putting a prototype Rev-A0 VoodooTV 200 on ebay within the next few days...in case you are interested. ;) I'll post a link in the ebay deals thread when I do.

Yeah, the copper colored board. That board has extra resistors and other stuff soldered all over it, does it not? It also has the Stealth-V cooler fan. They were evaluating the fans for OEM use but there were constant problems with the power connectors if I remember correctly. The card was clocked so slow that I don't think the chip even required a heat sink. I used that very card back in my Unreal Tournament days - for a week or so anyway after my first 6000 card died. Back in those days, while testing for 3dfx, I never imagined that any of the cards would be worth what they are now. As long as none of the delicate rework parts have been broken off since I owned it, I'd bet that it's still a good card.

No wonder why the price actually got up to $2,500 or so
it was a combined effort!!

argh, that unfair in a way hehe..
2 vs 1

if only I had bill gates as my ally.. LOL

anyway if we are going to a meeting wgere would be the best place to do the meeting, I would like to see our 3dfx community once, just to speak everyone in RL:)

The only problem would be money for trasport and location.
If some else has any ideas, please ring a bell, any a dutch meeting is possible... I'll se what I can do for the dutch 3dfxérs

its alot easier for european collectors,
I wont make the trip being in South East Asia

lol
