Could be from any country, really. Brands often use names which sound "cool". For example many restaurants here in Luxembourg have Italian names which sound cool for somebody who's not Italian but very very funny for someone who is Italian (like me). That's why IMO (not holy, I'm not God) there's only little chance that it actually is Italian.

Reply #227 - 22.03.05 at 15:52:52 Yes, I don't think that hypothetical italian brand maked deals with 3dfx, for videocards production . In Italy ther isn't this type of market, or at least is very very small market.

...another V2 for me: Trust Voodoo Dragon 2.

It's a rebranded Skywell Technology Magic 3D II...

Well, i think that this card is effectively a Skywell Magic 3D II, and not a Trust rebranded from SkyWell....At the least, i think it is the contrary....due the fact that Trust is not a specific and big videocard's manufacturer, so Trust could have done deals with Skywell for a little range in videocards market. This could be a reason wich trust Voodoo Dragon 2 black pcb report "M3D II"......

Trust was, and is, a reseller. They buy up cards from companies who do make their own cards. Then they put a sticker from theirselves on the card (leaving the decals from the other company on the card) and make their own boxes and manuals.

The card I have, is and will always be a Skywell Technology Magic3D II but it was sold by Trust under their own name.
