Nope (hence no "3dfx inside" decal) Quantum3D used these motherboards in the bulk of their Ultracade arcade systems which mostly have old school 2D games that require no 3D.

Not sure what you mean by "leftover" the 810 motherboard based Graphite systems would have been used in large numbers for the arcade market and Quantum3D/Ultracade sold them for a number of years.

I think they just stopped using the Graphite systems in the last year or two, so the platform really had legs considering they were in use for close to 5 years.

I doubt it- The only market they had for machines with no or little 3D capabilities would have been the Ultracade arcade consoles.

Should be Pro = 166 MHz.

BTW rev.1.0 have noticeable differences (though also yellow PCB color). And slightly other box design (with old 3dfx logos, a bit other artwork, big "Voodoo 3" writing on the front instead of "EvilKing 3" and "EvilKing 3" writings on sides instead of "Powered by Voodoo 3"). I have both revisions boxed new (and 2.0 even spare sealed), so can compare them head-to-head:)

It is but oddly enough comes with 143 mhz bios too. BTW- This was sold as Mac PCI board, it was a PC box with a tacky Mac decal with a CD-R disc with drivers and bios with instruction on how to flash to Mac use.
