this is the original Pure3D... 3dfx voodoo graphics (commonly mislabeled the
voodoo1)

this is a high-performance voodoo card, undeniably the fastest of the
voodoo1 boards, even approaching the low-end voodoo2's in some applications.

the nice thing about this is, everything supports it. linux openGL/glide
support is practically a no-brainer; Mesa has pre-configured libraries and
such specifically made for the voodoo chipset, there's none of this CVS
downloading and recompiling X from source like some of the newer chipsets
require.

there is also full support for all of the windows versions including NT, and
limited support in Win2000. this makes a great entry-level gaming
accelerator; it was practically designed to play quake1/2/3... suprisingly
it still yields decent framerates even with newer games, albeit at lower
resolutions.

it also boasts a tv-out, both RCA and S-Video, and in addition to allowing
you to display games on a television, you can output your regular Windows
desktop as well.

note: this is a PCI 3d-addon board, which means you must already have a 2d
card in your system.

asking $40 or best offer.
