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. email rvineyard@microsouth.com if interested
