Reply #30 - 21.03.12 at 20:46:07 It is rare I assemble a number of things in one location and rarer still I share the pictures as it could be mistaken for bragging. Please enjoy a rare view of "swag" that has been assembled over the years. The round CD case was the first piece of swag purchased, way back in 2001.

Yes, they were given away to 3dfx higher ups. I know where a second is, dying to lay my hands on it and have a pair but the owner won't budge.

I'd like to see such a flag with the Voodoo 5 6000 face Wink

Or just the simple 3dfx banner.

I need to take a better picture of the other banner I have, it was actually used at a trade show! The fellow I got it from took it down when the show was over and saved it.

I did some digging around- The wide "Best Hardware, Best Software" banner was used at the E3 show in Los Angeles, California, May 1999. 3dfx was setup at Booth 868 at the back of the hall and has been confirmed via press releases and maps of the facility.

The Swag page was shuffled around a bit so hats are grouped with hats, pens with pens, etc. Several pictures were replaced with better versions (click on the golf markers for example)

Hi Gary,

you can do an update of the Voodoo5 6000 FAQ if you've got some time in the future Wink

I could repair Chosen_One's dead Voodoo 5 6000 rev 3700 by replacing the HiNT bridge with a newer PLX revision of this PCI-to-PCI bridge type.

Take a look at this thread:
http://www.voodooalert.de/board/index.php?page=Thread&postID=328291#post328291

If you need informations in english just let me know Wink

Take your time, I know you are busy with the garage

I had no idea 3DFX even had all these items with their logo all over them. Matches, PJ, golf balls? Just a very good collection man, thank you for sharing.
