hi friend, see my voodoo 3 2000 pci of 16MB of SD-RAM. The monday I got bios of voodoo 3 3500 tv version, from rom´s site, voodoo3/bios/roms I take the VGA-BIOS Version 2.15.05-SD and flash with 3dfx utilitie. Reboot the system and see my new voodoo 3 3500 PCI [8D], the q3 arena increase very well the FPS, and got more MTextels/S. see this screenshot of 3dmark 2001SE and make you conclusion :D

The difference between v3 2000 and 3500 is the clocks..it was a dangerous step to flash the 3500 bios..

I would strongly advise to improve the cooling system of the card.
( Put a fan on that heatshink ).
Mine V3 2000 has 5.5ns, and shows artifacts already at 166MHz, with a cooler !

Follow your dreams !
