What about Voodoo Mac DVI old style pinout compatibility with new LCD-TFT monitors?

About that too: Voodoo Mac cards have DVI connector, but it's not the current standard. Do they need special compatible monitors to use the DVI feature, or is it possible to use any LCD-TFT with Voodoo MAC series? I never saw the DVI connector on modern monitors, but I know that new video cards use slightly different DVI pinout, so my question is: would it be possible to physicaly plug in a new modern LCD-TFT monitor into a Voodoo Mac DVI conector or would it need a adapter or a old-style compatible monitor?

Im looking for best solutions for my system (Pentium III @517Mhz, 192MB RAM and ofcourse Voodoo3 2000 16MB AGP
I also have Voodoo 3 2000 on Intel old PC (Celeron 333Mhz + Via 693 socket 370 MB) and I can say that the slow CPU doesn't allow me to squeeze all the juice out of the video card. So, in my opinion, whatever if you only upgrade the video card, you wont't get any plus of speed or performance, but maybe image quality by FSAA (Voodoo 4 or 5). Conclusion: you might not see any improvement at all even with a Voodoo 5 until you upgrade the MB+CPU+RAM too, to faster ones. And usualy the easyest way for better overall performance is adding more RAM (it's the cheapest way too).
More experienced board mates, corect me if I'm wrong :)

I have a spare V4 AGP here
Excuse off-topic, but:
How much do you want for the V4, Rolo01? This one will work on Intel MBs with AGP 4x 1,5V right? I hope I could afford such a great voodoo card...
On-topic:
For V3 there are the x3DFX-c drivers; they use dedicated V3 D3D core, not the VSA100 D3D driver core like in the Amigamerlin, Mikepedo, etc. drivers.
