Hey dude .I know these guys are experts in the field of Voodoo's ....but Ive had a history myself with motherboards and right now .the one that Ive been totally convinced that is very compatible with a "V5 5500" and has a universal AGP slot is a
"Soltek SL75DRV5-C" there is an earlier version with out the "C" and im using it on back up which ive had no problems either but I bought it used and on Ebay and has caps about to burst hehe ..so Im going let this one die out before the main one ..... in another thread i saw where someone else recommended this brand .but not highly recognized for its performance ...so check it out .maybe EBay has some listed again Smiley
P.S.
   i happen to have 4 of these motherboards im so convinced they work Smiley

Thanks guys for the info but ended up picking up another ECS K7S5A from a friend who upgraded and didn't need his any more (he's not running 3dfx at all and got a AMD 64 bit board). So now I don't have to reload the whole thing either with the exact same board going in to it, which is cool.

I had a Voodoo5 5500 AGP in that board for a long time. My only complaint was about once or twice a month I would lose the BIOS setting on boot up ???

I flashed to Cheepomans BIOS which allowed me to OC my 2400+ to the 2600+ specs but still continued to lose the BIOS settings.

Did you ever have that problem?

Sorry Nitrox. Didn't mean to bark back. It was a misunderstanding.

It may have sounded like I said that agp 1.0 and P4s don't exhist, thats not what I ment, but it may have came out that way and when I mistyped 'is' when I ment isn't, and then you fired back. You may not have ment it to sound frugal but it came out that way, and I barked back at you.

I know a lot about hardware, but not everything, just like the other post you said the 8500 had a core speed of 275mhz, mine is only 229.5mhz (but 275 may be true because there are like 4 or 5 types 8500 cards). I didn't know about Pentium 4 mobos with a agp 1.0 slot, and I was like what the heck? I didn't say they didn't exhist, but they are rare, like how agp 8x and pci-e 16x motherboards are rare, just aren't common, which is why jandarsun probably asked here.

I am no expert, and I forgot to mention I appreciate you telling me they do exhist, and I don't want you to leave because I came off on the wrong foot. I hope we're still cool -?

No one knows everything about everything, maybe certain subjects, but humans are imperfect (in my case mispelling and I don't know everything about the vast pc hardware, most things thou). My ex meteorology teacher didn't know there was deserts on Hawaii -not until I told her. I am sure you, gdonovan, falconfly, obi, and a handful of people I didn't mention know almost everything about 3dfx, certainly more than I, but I do know a bit, usually what (technology) I find interesting and whats common.

Kuze - For the Citizens part, they don't even recognize the massive explotation inherited in the system. They absorb only the information that appeals to them that's easy to accept. Theirs is a phony society, I want to open their eyes to that fact.

No problem, I like it when people bark back, allows me to improve my conversational skills Grin

Actually, I'm probably wrong here but, I think there aren't any P4 motherboards with AGP1.0 slots because the P4 was available since November 2000. At the very least they have Universal AGP slots which support both AGP1.0 and 2.0.

Why would I leave? Because of an argument? I like arguments every now and then, they spice up things. I see no reason not to be cool Smiley

NitroX, IG88 don't know what to tell you guys, I've never ran into that problem and I've been/ was using my old board for a while. I've also got a K7S6A using a SIS 745 chipset instead of the 735 like the 5A's and that'll run DDR 2700 with an AMD 2600+ just fine along with running 3.3V AGP. Haven't had any problems with either boards. Who knows what'll happen with the board I just got, but we'll see. So far I've pretty impressed with them.

That's cool man, like I said, I'm getting my friends board but don't know how long it'll last and would like to have a spare board that will handle the voodoo's but wanted to check with you first.

Good luck to ya on that one. I found another but the starting bid is higher. You might want to keep an eye on it as the first one might bid up high. It's good to have options Wink

Nice board But mine had a bad IDe Controller and leaking Caps, I'd ask better and sharper pics first from the seller before purchasing! Really Bad IDE Controllers arn't easy to replace with trembling hands Undecided neither are leaked capps.

Question here, do all VIA Apollo 333 chipsets handle the Voodoo's? Was looking at a different board that has this chipset on it but says that it's a 4x AGP slot and will only do 4X agp cards. 

VIAź Apollo KT333 North Bridge VT8367
VIAź VT8235 South Bridge 

Just trying to keep  my options open here so thought I'd ask.
