Title: Rare Voodoo 3's?
Post by medallish on 17.06.05 at 01:44:58

Hi, i've just started my own 3DFX collection, and now i have two voodoo 3's that looks rare to me, but i'm just started my learning so :D, hopefully you can help me, the first one is a Voodoo3 2000 PCI which is dated 1499 and have the old logo on the chip, the other one is a Compaq Voodoo3 3000 AGP with Hyundai 5.5ns Ram.
hope you can help me determine whether they are rare or not.

If I'm not mistaken the Voodoo 3 2000 PCI could be a ?Powercolor Evilking Voodoo 3 ??? (They had a brown PCB)

It would be easier if you post some pictures ;)

Voodoo 3 with the early logo are fairly common if you know which PCB dates to keep an eye out for.
