Hmm, as far as I know you can use the adapter in every mobo with a PCI slot. Of course, I cannot predict how the hint chip will behave...
But my experience so far with the AGP2PCI is not only positive:
WinXP has serious problems, lock up on boot after driver installation.
Win98SE does not lock up, but has dificulties to identify the card...
I only tried with a Voodoo3-3000 AGP, I wont put the 6000 in, not until the V3 works as it should.
Oh, dont forget :
With the adapter you are limited to the PCI bus speed of 33 Mhz, instead the 66 Mhz of a native AGP slot. So you might even loose some performance.
Well thats very good information indeed....i guess i will not be getting one of those anytime soon. I did order a mobo off of ebay....it should work with the 6k. i will hook it up  sometime next weekend. thanks for all the help!

Sorry to disappoint you, but this mainboard in known to be incompatible with the 6000.
I tried my 6000 ( Rev. A2, 2600 ) in a Tusl2-C, which is basically the same chipset with tualatin support. I didnt get a video signal, but the PC bootet fine into windows.
Well, I guess there are two choices :
Wait for the AGP2PCI adapter or get yourself a different mainboard.
http://www.thedodgegarage.com/3dfx is a very good site for 3dfx information, there is a V5-6000 FAQ page with lots of tested mainboards.
My personal experience was that my 6000 ran fine in a Asus P3B-F, but the bios had to be lower or equal to 1.006.
A second hand mobo of ebay isnt going to be very expensive, but its your decision...
Nice webpage, still looking around in there. Question on that agp2pci, will it matter what mobo proc combo i put it in? I remember reading something about the hint bridge being picky, so putting it in something like a nforce 3.......think that would be a bad idea or no? Another reason why i am waiting for those agp2pci is because i'd get more performance if it would work in my setup now, as well as it being a weeeee bit cheaper than buying an old mobo off ebay. THanks for the help by the way.

Which board is it ? e.g. brand,model number and bios version would be helpfull...
I'll get on that Thur or Friday, been a really busy week so far. I;ll get the info to you soon! Agian thanks!
It's
Asus cusl2-c bios 1009
sorry it took so long, been busy. Hope that helps -
V56k is rev 3700
Using intern power - PSU is a 350
Used external as well no go -
Updated Bios to 1014 Beta - v56k still didn't work, it boot into windows fine, had no issues with that bios until i reset the cmos as one last attempt.....and now i can't get any video card i put in that thing to display.....:( Just going to end up buying that agp2pci whenever i can get my hands on it, would be cheaper than getting a cpu and mobo for it.....

Can't wait!! Can't wait!!!
Woohoo~ Good day indeed!~

Also, to get facts straight...
If i have one of those AGP2PCI cards...and a FX 55 with MSI Neo plat 2 (Nforce 3) will the card blow up? Or no?

*Talking about the V5 6k

:D Hey just checkin before i head off to bed. I have a voodoo 5 6k and i have an old mobo with a p3 1 ghz in there. I put the 6k in there and turned the power on and no go, the fans were on but nothing on screen. So i put in another 3d card in the agp slot, to make sure it wasn't that, that card worked fine. I remember reading the voodoo 5 6000 is picky with mobo's, and i had this one as a spare i thought i'd try it, but to make sure before i go in ebay, is there something i could enable disable in bios that could get the BEAST working??? Thanks in advance!!
:D :D
