Hi! I want to start using Linux on a computer with a Voodoo 5500 card. I have some questions. What is Voodoo 5500 performance on systems with the latest versions of KDE? Is performance decreasing much? It is possible to run different effects, such as transparency? And is it possible to set the resolution with 16:9 aspect ratio?

In what ways is the MAC version better than normal version? Is it only because it is more suitable for connecting your TV?

Finding a Voodoo 5 PCI card is too difficult.

Hello. I began to assemble a computer consisting mainly of old, but unique components. At this point I have a Voodoo 5 5500 AGP, Voodoo 1, Voodoo 2, Vortex 2 sound card, 800 MB HDD and 80 GB HDD.

I have a serious problem with the decision on the CPU and motherboard. I wanted to get the Pentium Extreme Edition 840 (the first dual-core processor for home computers), but there are no motherboards that support this processor and the AGP Universal 3.3 V. The solution could be adapter for AGP (AGP riser?), but I do not know how it could look like in action.

I also thought a Pentium III 1 GHz on Slot 1, but it's hard to find a motherboard for it, and it is not so efficient. Athlon 64 Fx 51 and 53 (the first 64-bit processors for home computers) are impossible to find. Athlon X3 and motherboards for it are too modern.

Now I do not know what to do. I need a unique, efficient processor with support for 64 bits.

I have no ideas what other components might be matching. I intend to get the mouse Razer Boomslang 2000 and very good Be quiet PSU. I'm dreaming about the CD-ROM drive Kenwood True-X 72x (but it's impossible to find).

What else can I add to the set? What CPU and motherboard I should get? Do you have any ideas?

I'm looking for motherboard with AGP Universal and Pentium Extreme Edition support. I need it for my Voodoo 5 5500. Does exist something like that?

Hi. In near future I'm going to install PC-BSD on computer with Voodoo 5 5500, Voodoo 1 and Voodoo 2 cards. Is any chance for 64-bit drivers for FreeBSD? I hope developers can make it.

OK, I know what is power consumption in Voodoo 5 5500 - about 80W. Does anybody know more precise value?

And what is power consumption in Voodoo 1 and Voodoo 2?

Hi! I'm assembling my own computer using hardware old, but important for history of IT. In my collection I have three Voodoo cards: Voodoo 1, Voodoo 2 and Voodoo 5 5500. And I have one question: what is power consumption (in watts) of these preciouses? :]
