And who argued with me about there being only two boards?

And the third one:

Now that is some sweet 3dfx 0wnage o.0

Am I correct from the Threads reading, that those Collectors are located in the Czech republic ?

So I'd say the biggest / more rare Collections are currently spread to the USA, UK, Spain, France, bella Italia, Netherlands, Germany and Czech Republic

IMHO, some 2-3 years ago, most (if not all) rare Cards seemed to be limited to reside inside the USA I think.

Too bad the card's been returned for some repairs Tongue

But yes, seeing that people in the US have pretty much lost interesting 3dfx items, you tend to find them appearing on eBay and whatnot; pretty much all of the US have moved on to other cards (the low and rather inexpensive prices).

Hm, who would be able to test and repair a such Card ?

I know Hank was known to fix several Voodoo5-6000, but I never heard of him doing his magic on other rare Cards.
(does he still do it btw ?)

PS.
I've also noted the overall support and interest fading, surprisingly and unfortunately not seldom in those places I would have expected it the least Sad

Anyway, if it generates the chance of getting hold of rare and historical 3dfx Gems, at least one positive side of it.

A Spectre 3000... Also - they has the modified picture of a 8 chip voodoo 5 6000 so I do not think that everything they states there can be completely true

Well, some of those Images (like the above) are very old, and most Sites that do offer them, know very well that they could be fake in theory.

They are mostly offered "as is", with year long discussions about their authentic value making them unique all by itself Wink

PS.
Looking at above PCB, it seems not impossible that this "Card" existed, albeit being a non-functional Design study or pure a Display Card. The large blank spaces of the PCB would support my theory (having the V5-6000 Display card in mind as comparison).

It's not/wasn't. Please don't take my "lol"s as "laugh/laughing out loud". Wink

I think Patience is a little miffed because she doesn't have one, and probably will never get the chance to buy one either for that matter! I don't think Hank will ever sell those cards as they are so sought after.
