I might have made a boo-boo. I saw Voodoo 4 4500 PCI "Buy it Now" for $59.00, so I submitted an offer of $25.99, just to see if the seller would take less than half of what he was asking, AND it had free shipping. Long story short, he DID. I was like "awesome", so I payed him and then went back to the auction to bask in my glory. Only to read in the description that the card might be AGP. I dont want agp, i want PCI. Title and Picture show PCI, therefore it should be PCI, im confuzed what do you guys think... sorry about the long post, i've been drinking a bit and on a buying spree!!! woohoo 3dfx ! anyways, what should i do in this situation?

EDIT: Now i just noticed it has DVI, does this mean it was made for a MAC? and does this mean I am gonna have problems using it with my PC?

wow, lesson learned here, do my homework and ask more questions...

thanks for any info you guys might have...

Now my question for you is, Whats up with the DVI portion of the video card??? i have not seen this on a 4500 before, granted i am pretty new to the 3dfx scene...

Should be a similar sort of procedure for the MAC V4500...

Note that it's not guaranteed to work...

I bought a used Mac V5 5500 two years ago and flashed it to the 1.18(DVI) PC BIOS, and while the card works fine in a Windows machine, the DVI out put does not work. Period.

I tried various things to get it working, including re-flashing, but no joy. I don't know if there is hardware damage to the card that has disabled the DVI output, or...?
