why should we live in such secracy, is it such dangerous info, i don't think so, but it's kinda exagerating to my opinion, really.  Angry

But it seems that the Voodoo4 4000 isn't functional, hmm that would be a shame, mabe more of them were built and maybe not. Undecided

So again, i would not give this info and if i was the winner, i would not appreciate that.
Understood ?  Tongue


oh well that's your opinion not mine Smiley everyone has thier own feelings about these things and I am sorry that I upset you, that wasn't my idea.  Embarrassed At least I do have the rights to say what I think about it .

It sounded abit awkward that's all, so I replied in a way how I thought about it. and again I am very sorry that I upset you in any way, because that was not my intention  Cry .

Anyway I was do'n a little research on that Voodoo3 4000 mystery,I wanted answers on it, I wanted to know if it was real or not So I  found more info on the Voodoo3 4000 everyone, well they are more like speculations on what it realy was gonna be Wink :

here the link where I got it from:
http://www.guru3d.com/voodoo3.htm

Containing this interesting info:

" Uhm, I heard somebody mention Voodoo3 4000 "

Ahh, yes, the heavily discussed Voodoo3 4000 was one of our main interests and boy did we get some answers. Basically now, the Voodoo3 4000 is just a made up name that has been floating around (fishy stuff, if you know what I mean). The "Voodoo3 4000" is just basically somebody's description of the Voodoo3 3000 with an AGP 4X implementation. There will be a product supporting AGP 4X, but whether it will be named Voodoo3 4000 or not has still not been discussed. There might be a product named Voodoo3 4000, but if so, there might be more to it than just the AGP 4X interface.

" When will 3Dfx offer AGP 4X? " 

A. We’ve announced that a 4X member of the Voodoo3 family will be available to our OEM partners in time to intercept the debut of AGP 4X in the market. 

" When will the AGP 4X board be available? "

A. The AGP 4X member of the Voodoo3 family is timed to ship with the high-volume ramp of the first 4X AGP chipsets. 


Anyway, this was from a very old preview of the Voodoo3 series, it was Updated at 02/23/99  heeh a long time ago, when 3dfx was still in it's glory.

and here at Fireing squad a nice preview about V3 4K:

http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/v34000/default.asp

hehe at least the idea of the Voodoo3 4000 was cool:

Beyond '32/32/32'

According to a tip, the "Voodoo3 4000" will deliver final 32-bit color rendering , a 32-bit Z-buffer, and 32 or 64MB of RAM. We've also heard that this part will be able to run dual in 3dfx's famous SLI, but the AGP/PCI matter lends doubt to this conjecture.

and on this page heaps of V3 4K info!:
http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/v34000/page3.asp

So my conclusion is that the Voodoo4 4500 AGP is the card we are looking at, why, well here are mu suggestions:

1. it has 32MB of ram
2. it runs at V3 3K speeds
3. it has 32Bit color
4. it has a  32-bit Z-buffer or was that 24Bit I'm not sure  here.
5. It supports SLi,  well the chip does anyway.
