3rd-party Voodoo3 found
13.09.15 at 12:51:25

i found a Voodoo3 a few weeks ago, 3rd-party, but then i tried it on Windows98SE and it didn't seem to work.

Lately i removed parts from a Pentium 4 with AGP 2x/4x on it, so i decided to try WinXP for this card, and it seem to work fine so far, i tried DxDiag's Direct3D tests and Unreal Tournament set on Glide, and everything seem to work.

i checked on the database and it's a Powercolor EvilKing 3 Pro, with the TV-out connectors on it.

Is it possible that because of whatever problem a card might have, it can only be used on a certain OS such as Windows XP? (i know that my Creative Voodoo Banshee only work with Windows XP with the default drivers provided on the XP disc, if i try to update the drivers, i'm screwed)

Newest chipset is KT333 you can use it on, AMD XP3000+ the fastest cpu.

Chipset is a VIA P4M266A/VT8235CD

tested the card in Windows 98SE on a Pentium 3 Socket370 board, and it does work! The AGP slot is 4x/2x, but i assume since it's a Pentium 3 board, it must support 3.3V when required, it's the Intel 06P2525 board from a IBM Netvista A40 (model 6648SBU, as mentionned in the BIOS).

The board's chipset is Intel 815. Though there's no option in the BIOS to manually set the AGP speed to 4x, 2x or 1x.
