Title: Hello from NL/GoT
Post by: Vinnie on 11 September 2003, 19:27:44
Normally I dont make a huge entrance when coming to a forum for the first time, but oh well. Maybe it's worth it :D

Anyway, here goes...

Got my first 3Dfx experience by a friends place, with a Diamond Multimedia Monster 3D 4MB PCI (Voodoo Graphics), which got me drooling for quite a long time ;)

Would take a long time before I had my own Voodoo, which became a Velocity 100 (aka Voodoo3 1000), later on when I already had sold my Velocity 100, I bought a 3dfx Voodoo5 5500 64MB AGP. Now that was some kicking around with games like Unreal :D

But because I was short of money and had some plans I had to take, I had to sell it.... before I could have a chance I could buy another one, I had borrowed 2 Diamond Multimedia Monster 3D II cards in SLI mode. Which I have now in a old computer of mine :)

But now I have a nVidia (yeah,kick me hard :P) GeForce4 Ti4200 ViVo in my computer which I swap with the 3dfx Voodoo5 5500 64MB AGP card when I want to play some Unreal, Unreal Tournament, or an other Glide API based game.

I ain't got a PCI>AGP converter (where the heck can you buy such things), so I can't use both at the same time.

Anyway, that's for my past with 3Dfx :D

I'm also a member of a big dutch community on internet called "Tweakers.net / Gathering of Tweakers (GoT). I was already quite interested in 3Dfx and helped/discussed on that forum quite a lot about it.
For some time I'm very involved in the big 3dfx topic which is going on there. And a few days ago someone gave a link to this site and was talking about the drivers here.

And when I saw there was a forum, I couldnt resist and had to look on it some more :P

Perhaps you'll not notice me here that much, but still very interested about 3dfx is still alive and kicking in a way of speaking ;)

Hope to see you around soon!

Suomi on upea!

UH has anyone ever made on of those?  i mean you problably could with a pci 66mhz slot but not a standard pci 2.1 compliancy slot, if so i'd love to read up on it!!!!  let me know!!! becuase i have an old DUAL pentium one and using an older AGP card would be awsome!!!!

such an adapter really exists, and it works. but i think you can only buy them in japan (not sure though) for about 80 euro.
