Quote:@NitroX - You said the bottom box looks different, but it just looks like a DARKER picture of the EURO V5500.
But REALLY, really darker! 8)
Paul is right here. It's just coloured differently in the photo that Dark_God produced.
Nitrox, remember the VoodooTV FM pic with the yellow text?
When the original boxes have pinky orange text? (As seen in my photo here of my two VoodooTV's)
http://www.jstorey.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/IM000858.JPGAgain, a discolourment problem in the photos produced. There was no promotional box, this is merely a colour error.
It would also prove not to be a promotional box as the US box version was released BEFORE the Euro box. A promotional image of the V5 box would surely look more similar to the US version rather than the Euro version. In this case it does not.
Dark_God, what you are after seems to be the Euro box, but neither the US or the Euro version are different in terms of how the cards operate. The box changes are purely marketing decisions made by 3dfx.
The difference between the PC and MAC versions of the cards (as shown by Nitrox) is the presence of a DVI output on the MAC cards. These cards can be ported for the use in a PC by flashing them with a PC BIOS variant.
