you bet.it burns holes in people ;

Well now! Slivovica and HW modding Cheesy What a combo. Last time I tried that I burned the best Duron Spitfire CPU that I had. It went from 700Mhz to 1.1 Ghz, and then, when I connected it accidentaly to +12V, it went to garbage can Grin I still remember the bitter-sweat taste in my mouth after that. It was a 65% alcohol home brew sljivovica... Never drink and drive, and never, ever drink and mod (I learned that the hard way)  8)

Speaking of which, have you ever tried to play Quake or UT after a few beers or sliva? It's one hell of a sight and an experience never to forget!  Grin
Hint: Try using rocket launcher after drinking in Q2

How exactly does this agp to pci adapter work???
P.S. $20 U.S. dollars sounds like a fair price for the adapter.

this is a very special hardware made for a very special purpose.the price will be nowhere near $20..but very acceptable for someone who had juiced out $1000 for the 6k Wink

I'd say 250 Euro's would be normal Smiley like the PPU the Physics Processing Unit card is also very speacial only not well supported yet.

250 Euro's would be a nice price Smiley

Do remember that the Voodoo5 6000 won't work on every Mobo, so that might be with the AGP5 card as well. so it still may be a large risk to use with a 6K, then again you could use a 5000 & 5500 AGP in it, though then I rather choose for a 5000 or 5500 PCI card, to get the same idea.

would a Voodoo5 6000 work wel in an ASUS A7V333-R Rev.1.02 in the AGP port, well answer in no, I wounder what the answer will be with the AGP5, this is one of the things I fear when useing a V6K wel over the 1000 Euro's with a converter card which isn't that well known for use in such a bord.

so even if it would cost like 800 euro's for as en example and you use your 6000 with it on a bord where the 6000 would not cope in the original AGP port of the mobo it's self and that the 6K will die in the AGP5 port that is alsways a risk which still might be in the way.

The HiNT chip is very fragile, if the card dies because the the mobo it's in with the AGP5 adapter we are still nowhere. Who knowns what will happen with a Voodoo5 6000 AGP in the AGP5 on a ASUS A8R32MVP Deluxe bord, I'm not so sure on how that will pack out, wil the 6K fail or will it just proceed?

I just hope it's 100% fail safe.

could there be a second adapter that will be a universal agp to pci  adaper that will be around let's say... the cheap range? It would be nice to have a 5500agp on every machine
without agp.

hmm true I agree there but there are still enough Voodoo5 5500 PCI's around to solve that prob though, unless you can't get one ofcourse, the idea is well thought Wink

Any news on the adapter's testing rounds ps47?

hehe still would be amazed to see some benchmark results even with a Voodoo5 5500 AGP or a 6000 AGP if possible Smiley
