From someone I just purchased a boxed 5500 PCI from-

===============================
Gary,
Your item was shipped today USPS  Confirmation number <snip>

Just as case you did not know VOODOO was put out of businesses for stealing a chip design.

===============================

ROTFL!

*lol*

...always great to hear 'experts talk' *g*

Let's hope your Voodoo5 PCI doesn't turn out as a Voodoo Rush PCI, just because the seller judged it solely by the pure size of the Hardware Wink

It is funny at times to hear things like this! Grin

One of the best places to see these kinds of slip-ups is ebay.

I see a lot of "Voodoo 2 16Mb" cards advertised, and "Voodoo2 3 5000". Some are clasic.

However, regarding the one that is currently on sale on ebay (sorry I don't have the link with me right now) : "Voodoo5 5000", this is NOT an illusion! Wink

To the people already watching this one, Bid accordingly! Smiley

Hey Tony (Voodude)  Smiley

Hope your well! That's a lovely card you have there!  Cheesy
One of the rare ones!  Wink

Tell us how you came about acquiring it, and how you came to know this 3dfx engineer?

How come you're selling up? Are you leaving the 3dfx community, or just reducing your 3dfx collection?

Hi janskjaer,

I worked for STB/3dfx. Most of my story is covered under the "General discussion" section on this board in the "Post your 3dfx images" thread. I had a huge collection at one time but now I am selling off the last of it for other hobbies like cars and guitars.  ;-p

Cool! Nice one!  Wink

I suppose it goes without saying but did you enjoy your time @ STB/3dfx? Smiley

Were you part of the STB staff during the takeover, or originally from 3dfx?

Where were you based?

My friend was part of the 'shutdown' crew at the 3dfx San Jose office when you guys went under. He had the depressing job of selling all your assets off to bidders.  Cry
