Is it true that the 3Dfx range for the PCI slot is coming to an end? I really hope not. I do know that a lot of older machines are going to come to a grinding halt when upgrading without their technology. At the moment, Voodoo cards are made in two type of of slot fitting. One being the older PCI fitting that nearly everyone has and some people have the newer AGP slot fitting. AGP technology is meant to be vastly improved and the PCI slot fitting cards are becoming outdated. Basically because the newer, high performance cards are just wasted on older type machines. The Voodoo 5500 is one such PCI card. While it offers you great performance, ...

Powered by twin 166mhz VSA chips. 64mb onboard RAM (32mb per chip) PCI bus 2/4x FSAA (removes jagged edges) The Voodoo 5 500 PCI is a card aimed squarely at existing 3dfx customers with OEM motherboards. It's relatively cheap (under £100) but with most of the features you'd expect from a recent 3D card. It's virtually a straight copy of the AGP version of this card, so retains all the features, but at a slower speed.

Question- does your PC have an AGP slot? If yes then you can stop right now and go to the NVidia section and start looking at GeForce 2MX cards. No? Many of us less fortunate have to find something that will fit in our antiquated PCI slots, and there isn't really much choice other than the Voodoo5 5500 PCI or a total PC upgrade. The lower specification Voodoo cards are just too old to power the latest games. But...What should have been an easy decision has recently been made more awkward because 3dfx, the makers of the Voodoo cards are no longer in business, having been bought and and effectively closed down by their rivals NVidia. ...
