Could anyone tell me what are the difference between bios for Voodoo5 5500 AGP "v1.18" and "1.18 mod DramINITO" - they are on this site.
Which one is better for my card?

General Discussions / Voodoo5500 AGP problems

I've fix it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The problem was that my old Abit with BX chipset can't run with 66MHz on AGP port by 133MHz FSB. I have PIII 1GHz and the mainbord give me 83MHz on AGP where my Voodoo 5500 is pluged. So i've changed it - by 100MHz FSB it run 66MHz on AGP port. I lost a little power because PIII have to work at 750MHz now - but 3Dfx works very good - no hangs or glitches. It's time to change mainboard :)

To everyone who has similar problem ->
Check your AGP bus frequency first! than changing drivers or even operating system. It seems that Voodoo don't like frequencies greater than 66MHz (but GeForce likes :) )

By the way - the best drivers for Voodoo 5500 AGP is Voodoolizer - it is a little faster than others.

Hi. I've bought used Voodoo5500 AGP card recently. I have Win98 operating system. I installed Voodoo with AmigaMerlin drivers, but i've tried others diffrent too ex.:voodoolizer or 3dhq. Old games like Quake1, Daikatana or Blood2 don't work with this card when antialiasing is set to 2x or higher - system freezes. If I leave it at SingleChip(antialiasing) - everything is normal and games work. Is this normal? Which games support AA x2 or x4? When I have XP installed before - it was the same. Game started - but within 5 seconds it freeze.

And one more problem. When I finish playing I can't back to Windows - screen goes black and nothing happens. Maybe monitor frequency is to high? I don't know - but voodoo shouldn't change it if I've set it to
75Hz before.
Sometimes when I run game screen goes black too and nothing happens.

Please help me.[:(]
