1) The MP750 is still in route from Europe, I just purchased a 300 mhz G3 Mac to test my Mac cards too! A steal at $101 shipped and it has a 5500 in it!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5722763134

Chances are I'll sell the Mac 5500 card and reclaim most of my cash =)

2) I'll leave it as is till someone claims the page but note the name.

Thanks!

Ideas/plans/thoughts

The boxes page-

When you click on a box thumbnail a larger window opens displaying the box in 800 x 600 AND the contents laid out.

Benchmark page-

Will have a series of benchmarks (current list glquake/quake ii/quake II/turok/maybe unreal) showing relative fps difference between all obsidain and major 3dfx cards when cpu speed isn't a factor.

Test machines page-

Will show the 3 testbeds used for testing cards including new 300 mhz Power Mac purchased for testing mac boards.

Case pages-

Intend to build a few "period" 3dfx theme pc's with cases with clear side window cut into the shape of the old powershield logo.

More pictures added to quantum3d pages now that they have been broken up.

Mercury tech page covering hurtles needed to bring Mercury brick back to function (cables/drivers/etc)

Master list page maybe (like on collectors page here)

3dfx triva and fact page with information compiled from around the net like postings from Hank S., old interviews, etc.

Must get sleep.

Methinks you'd better put a 'reserve' on that MAC V5500 card @gdonovan... Roll Eyes

Check out what I WON today (and more importantly - the price!) Grin

You lucked out- I sold my 5500 AGP card for $44 with no box at all, the Mac version with box usually clear $75

A few pics on obsidian2 page updated to larger images with less compression, three new pics of 90-2440 are up as well.

I'll be changing the card pics over as time permits from 500 pixels wide & #1 Photoshop compression to 600 pixels wide #2 Photoshop compression.

Picture was posted of the MP750 a day or two ago, nice card!

A bunch of sections are still getting reworked-

The VSA section was completed with new pictures, the Mac section was re-done, the prototype section was redone (with three new cards added, woop!) The V1 page was updated, the timeline was updated, and the Obsidian page was updated.

Still need to re-shoot the Obsidian 1/2 cards as I'm not happy with the current pictures except for a few.

Man the site was mentioned on [H]ard OCP and the server is getting pounded today! The server owner is laughing his stones off, he said he never seen anything like it.

...

Can you guess when the link was posted?

...

Follow up on server use.

All new pics are up in the Obsidian section and 4 new boxed cards are up in the box section. The new cards when you click on them, instead of a larger version of the box you see the box with contents displayed.

As soon as I can all of the boxed cards will be that way.

Well that's quite interestng especiality about the Voodoo Rush, i suppose that the Rush is more interesting, just because the way it's built.

3 brands 1 card.

1. Atrend or any other brand like Gainward and so on.
2. Alliance Semicondutor or Macronix
3. 3Dfx.

That is what i suppose made those Voodoo Rush cards more interesting than the Voodoo2's 3 brands, in just one card but it worked!

Oh Gary look what they say about your great site:

" This guy just has an insane amount of pictures of old 3dfx hardware.

Sort of makes you nostalgic, ever so briefly."

You're gett'n a very good rep Wink

A little more then I would like, some good comes from it though.

I have had two people send me notes that they own X-24's with the rare cooling fan option. The second indicates it was an option from Quantum3d after the card was purchased. He is going to see if he can find his paparwork and maybe I can pry one from one of the owners Wink
