I'm partial to the STB Powergraph 64 series myself. :rolleyes:
Why would you even consider buying a card with no official driver support and one that doesn't do OpenGL or 32-bit color? Man - buy an Apple. :p

The Voodoo5500 is a 32 bit card and it dose have opengl support ( also works in glide ). I think ur mistaked with the Voodoo3000 series.
BTW, i use my 5500 for the past 3 years, it also works great with the 3rd party drives. Now i wouldnt buy it for playing games but it is a nice display item with its 2 VPUs and a power conector looks just like the new geforceFX only better. :t

It has an OpenGL software "wrapper". Since real OpenGL is a hardware solution, the wrapper really stinks.

BPB, you're wrong here, mate. V5, as well as V4 (same VSA-100 chipset), supports 32bit color, Direct3D, OpenGL (as miniport, but it's still hardware, and via "beta forever" driver, still hardware) and Glide. V3 supports all the listed API's but not the 32bit color.

lol
by the way, how much better is the 8500le 64 than the geforce256? worth getting it?
lol do you think that original geforce will be worth something someday?

The 8500LE is GeForce3-level performance. I have an old GeForce256 too, but it's worthless, really. They came in 16MB and 32MB flavors with only SDRAM, so they don't really compare.

And that makes it the third time :eek:
GeForce256 cards were available with DDR SDRAM memory as well :p
I had the Creative Annihilator / 32MB DDR :t

That's the Pro or Ultra. I don't believe that the 256 had 64MB RAM. Notice I said "believe" just in case that killjoy ND shows up. :p

"Killjoy" ND confirms : GeForce256 boards were available in 32MB flavor, SDR/DDR. Although I've seen few VERY RARE 16MB models ...
64MB is common on GeForce2 Pro, and all the Ultras were 64MB. Yet, I still had 32MB GF2Pro (from Gigabyte) ;)
luv ya bpb :-@ :p
