voodoo4 4800 and voodoo 3 4000

[amp_man]

No rev number? Rev number should be four digits, ending with 00 most likely.

I didn't see any, but I didn't look too hard, either. I'll check again when I get home tonight (7:30 MST [GMT-7])

I was only being friendly and helpfull you know

BTW I wonder what the speed os this baby is, just 166Mhz like any other Voodoo4 or is it 143Mhz?

Because then it could be a Voodoo4 4400 PCI 32MB @ 143 Mhz parallel

You might think where do I get that info from, in that List there is to be said that there is a Bios for the Voodoo4 4400 AGP, well I suppose that there also is a PCI version like I found out here:

Video section!

http://www.digit-life.com/articles/septemberdigest/

"3dfx answered GeForce2 MX by beginning the sales of Voodoo4 4500 AGP along with it's PC variant. But for $150 price of a medium GF2 MX card it gives lesser productivity and that puts it to not so good position. And even Voodoo4 4400 - an OEM variant for $130 wouldn't be able to help, because GF2 MX cards aren't going to become more expensive too. And 183 MHz Voodoo3 from PowerColor just can't be serious competitor nowadays."

and here about the types: http://www.pcpop.com/News/2000/9/2860.shtml

"<> Voodoo4 4500 AGP / PCI ÉÏÊÐÖÐ
<> Voodoo4 4400 AGP - µÚ 43/44 ÖÜ(Ö»ÓÐÉ¢×°Æ·£¬ÊÛ¼ÛÔ¼ $100)"

So there has been a resemblance of the hard to be heard "Voodoo4 4400"

I wonder if this Engineering sample of the Voodoo4 would of been the Voodoo4 4400.

I'll suppose we'll never know, the original Voodoo4 4500 PCI looks abit like it, but the differences are noticable:





Anyway here is a guy that admits he played UT2K3 on a Voodoo4 4400 PCI:

There actually is no model number on the card. I just gave it another once-over, and, well, nope.

I haven't booted it in a while, but I should givei t a try sometime and see what I can do.

There might be no number. The important things 3dfx printed on the card is Rev A1, that sais it's still a prototype, Rev B would be the final card. As far as I know about 3 of the yellow boards are existing and that are just prototypes / early models of the V4 4500.
If it's clockes at 143MHz it sais nothing, most of the early engineering samples using vsa-100 chips are clocked at that speed.
A number (like 3700)is not the revision, that's printed by the factory and is no 3dfx marking. It says something about the production date.

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

that's right, 3700 means that the card was produced in week 37 of the year 2000

My Voodoo5 5500 PCI 64MB Rev 2900 A1, could also be a prototype then, or not? Because has A1 on it instead of Rev 2900 B?

anyways, 2900 means that it was produced in week 29 of the year 2000.

Like my Velocity 100 AGP 8MB SGRAM  , that card is a Rev 3399 A0, it has been produced in week 33 of the year 1999
