today,i just pop ou the heatsink glued to my v5500,and i took a look on the vsa chips and there is what i got (355-0026-220,F26708.1 AS)<--my v5500
(355-0025-221,F26689.1 AS )<--taken frm plasma online
I'm getting excited  ;D

if you're using win9x you can check this by using original drivers..3dfx info (of the hub) should tell you
if using winnt you can check this by running the directX diagnostic tool.. ;)

but (please) don't run the voodoo5 without heatsinks!

at all, i think you've just a further stepping to what you've seen online..

Micha relax,i will never do sumthing as silly as running these beauty(Beast?).I have a 9000pro,which i'm using it right now to type this msg. ;D

Long live 3DFX!!

I think it can't be VSA-101 chips because that would mean you (could) have DDR-RAM on the board...well, i've never seen a pci graphics card with ddr-ram (even newer ones don't have). so why should the 3dfx engineers build a card with functions it couldn't use? i bet these VSA-101 chips were only used on the last Voodoo5 5500 AGP...and of course the Voodoo4 4200 Daytona  ;)
