Can't help but beat this dead horse.

installed a V5500 the other day and ran thru all the titles - from monster truck madness 2 (3 year old loves it), NFS III to Q3A and i gotta say this thing kicks A$$ - the fsaa blows doors on the Gladiac and Radeon, both of which have gone bye bye, and w/ texture compression on, Q3A timedemo scores are the same as on the Radeon. i realize this thing won't have much longevity when it come to newer games, but for now it breathes life into old glide games - NFS III looks like a new game w/ 4x fsaa - unbelievable!

ps. the radeon didn't really go bye bye - its too good.

pps. paid $70 for V5 and $72 for the Radeon - i am the self-appointed crusader for the sub $100 video cards.

You're a man after my own heart! I, too, am the proud owner of a Voodoo5-5500 AGP and, let me tell you, I wouldn't part with it for the world!

Us 3dfx freaks have got to stick together to fight the rampaging nVidiot hordes!

3dfx is dead! Long live 3dfx!
