I heard that Voodoo 4 is the only one that will fit in to the Pentium 4 motherboards, because of the 1.5v requirements... Is this true ? Anyone got a voodoo card working in a Pentium 4 system? Damn shame becuase the gamma settings in OpenGL mode on Geforce 2s is crap.. example: Kingpin way too dark. -- Kila_m E-mail: kila_m*NOSPAM*@hotmail.com - Delete *NOSPAM*

The Voodoo 4 AGP WILL work in the AGP slot of a P4 mobo. The V 5 AGP, however, will NOT work in the AGP slot of a P4 mobo, because the edge connector is the wrong shape and the signal voltage is wrong. The V5 PCI _WILL_ work with a P4 mobo, in fact it will work with ANY mobo* with a PCI 2.1 (or higher) spec slot. * = provided the V5 is flashed with the appropriate BIOS and there are drivers for the particular mobo/OS combination.

Just out of curiosity.....You spend that much on P4 gear, and you want to use an old outdated video card? Thats makes no sense at all, the bottleneck created by that card would be terrible. Just an observation. -- Biz "Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and,......things with molecular structures,....and the....." - Ash AK <AK@127.0.0.1> wrote in message news:9oo0ma$k74$1@neptunium.btinternet.com... > I heard that Voodoo 4 is the only one that will > fit in to the Pentium 4 motherboards, because > of the 1.5v requirements... > > Is this true ?

Brand loyalty, fanboy-ness, two fingers to the crowd, etc.. Apart from that, you could keep a V5 in a PCI slot to play all the golden oldies, while upgrading the AGP(or whatever) card to keep up with the newest games.

Of all reasons, dark gamma is not an excuse to downgrade your hardware. Doesn't the latest Detonator 21.80 drivers have separate gamma sliders for Desktop/OpenGL/D3D/Overlay? -- First of One, Primary Grid Alpha-01 Mech Arena: http://daxin.netfirms.com/ FormulaSAE Racing: http://fsae.utoronto.ca/ "AK" <AK@127.0.0.1> wrote in message news:9oo0ma$k74$1@neptunium.btinternet.com... > I heard that Voodoo 4 is the only one that will > fit in to the Pentium 4 motherboards, because > of the 1.5v requirements... > > Is this true ?
