It is connected to my switch where my Opterons are connected to, I can scan the network so this system as well with Panda Dome Gold Edition, I Upgrade the package every 3 years for three systems This AthlonXP 2200+ can stream radio channels via winamp and it does that just fine it's clean and there are no viral issues thankfully. Nah all good here took care of that correctly  Doing a replay of Half Life on with witch the Wicked GL patch 2.99b and it looks amazing with the 3dfx Vooodoo3 3500 TV AGP 16MB, love this card, even today in 2020. Just trying to find a way to make screenshots , not sure if half-Life has that built it, it's the non Steam version most logically.

After some saving up and good searching around, today on May 09, 2020 was quite a great day! It seems I was able to reserve and re-buy my old PC Flashed 3dfx Voodoo5 5500 PCI Macintosh 64MB Rev.A1 2900 with PC Bios 1.18_DVI for my 3dfx Retro Gaming/Workstation system!  On May 24 I make payment for this beauty, it should arrive somewhere during week 01 or week 02 of June. Thereby it will be replacing the 3dfx Voodoo3 3500 TV AGP 16MB Rev.A 3199, and this card will go in my VGA table in the living room with the AMD R900 Antilles Reference Board. So here some pics of the card I reserved today:  That DVI-D will come in great handy for a good 20 a 21" EIZO or Sony Trinitron CRT :) and yes 3dfx Dual Chip SLI is coming back to me!  With this, I will definitely keep this topic up to date!

Not really a mod it's a rebuild frankly being  Yet I always try to keep things date correct and as accurate as possible, it's like modeling but with rare tech lego in that sense.

Nah I prefer Descent 1 &2 with DXX-Rebirth 0.58.1 & DXX Retro for those games, Descent 2 mainly & C&C Red Alert 2 are my favorities, I can spend hours in these and some of the classic combat Flight sims like SiS Flanker 2.0 _2.51 patch & Falcon 4.0 with Free Falcon 3.2, but also Pre 3dfx flight sims like Falcon 3.0 Gold, F-117 Stealth Fighter 2.0, Jet Fighter II and some others :)

I still have my old XFX GeForce GTX7950 GX2. Granted that card happened a long time after the Voodoo cards. I remember back in the day building dream systems with dual Voodoos.
Part of me wants to put it in a system, but I think I'll just keep it as a display item.

Seeing as how XFX no longer sells NVIDIA cards then it would make an excellent display item.

In the future those GPUs are going to cost lots of moneys🙀
T hose who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way. Affiliate Code: 3T15O1S07G

I just started collecting parts to rebuild my first computer I ever built. I found this thread because My first motherboard is an Epox 8k7a+. I am having trouble finding a manual for it. Did you find a pdf user manual for the motherboard? I have aquired a 1.2Ghz AMD Thunderbird processor and some Kingston Valueram DDR 266Mhz. Still got alot of parts to go but I gotta find a manual at some point.

It just hit me, the space craft on the side of your case if from the game "Descent". Great game, played for hours as a kid. Crazy to see how far graphics have come!
