Bonsteel card....
05.09.05 at 12:55:05

Hi Every one, I wanted to ask something, and it's about this Bonesteel card.

What I know is that it's a 3dfx Voodoo3 1000 with 8MB SGRAM core/mem 143Mhz and both TMU's enabled, and that it's a Gateway Voodoo3 1000 card.

I've been confused with a few people that Bonesteel was the codename for the Velocity seres, and that the Velocity series didn't use the Avenger code name, but this is too hard for me too believe.

Anyone an idea about this, maybe you would know the truth. I just want to know the facts not the maybe's Wink

.

Friendly Regards,

Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Nope, just one which can be re-enabled with a windows registy hack. Do a board search, I did benchmarks showing the performance difference between Velocity 100, the Compaq V3-1000 and a regular V3 (I think)
