i recently swapped my V3 3000 with my other one from one box to the next one , it  is a powercolor 2.15.12 sd bio s, a version 2 card , ran perfectly on win xp . The other a powercolor H4 0.26-SD bio s version one card , i tried to install (just to see the difference if any ) it wouldn`t install properly and locked up on games and GL Excess .

This card ran perfectly under 98 se , i can flash the card to fix it , but i think its interesting might be the cause of some wierd problems people are experiencing , when others have no problem with similar setups . And considering there a few different Voodoo 3 bios out there .
