Does Voodoo2 chip support AA? I've heard that Aalchemy cards has it. But somebody told me that it works because of an extra chip that Quantum3D put on their boards. Is it?

I guess this is what I really want! After playing on Voodoo5 with FSAA, regular Voodoo2 looks poor. But a lot of games doesn't work on V5, and I need V2 for them. What was the name on that Quantum?

What you are looking for is called a Quantum3D Obsidian2 200SBi 'Brick', which is made up of four Obsidian2 200SBi cards.

Prices are usually several hundreds of US Dollars, sometimes even more than a thousand.

You can find a lot of info on Gary's site; http://www.thedodgegarage.com/3dfx/
More specific; the pages about the Mercury system

Each card has two Voodoo2 chipsets on it. And the price I mentioned is for the entire brick; 4x Obsidian2 200SBi + neccessary accessories.

Brick requires NT4, I have run it under Windows 2000 pro but the control panel doesn't show up.
