Voodoo3 1000 / GPL help

Someone on the T&R Forum is having problems with GPL 1.2 and a Voodoo 3 1000, and I can't answer the question. I think it has to do with drivers and/or video settings. If anybody can help it would be appreciated.

The problem is related to Glide2.54. He should download the latest DX7 compatible drivers which come with an updated Glide2.56. The flickering could be caused by enabling the triple color buffering option in his 3dfx display properties.

He has a Voodoo2 1000. As the other guy said you may have to try various driver versions to get it working correctly. I used to run GPL on a V2 and it was fine from what I can remember. -- Nos

There is infact a V3 1000, it is similar to the V3 2000, but only available in AGP. In addition, it comes with only 8Mb of memory (though of the SGRAM type, unlike the 2000/3000). The card is meant as an OEM-only product, not available retail-boxed. It can use the 2000/3000 drivers without a problem.

The only Voodoo 1000 I've seen is a Voodoo 2 and I'd be interested in reading the specs on this "V3 1000". And why would they give the same designation to both a V3 and a V2? That would be very confusing. Thanks

You may be correct, but I would like to see some evidence of this and it doesn't say much for the logic of 3DFX if there is such a card. Fueled by the award-winning Voodoo2 chipset from 3dfx, the V2 1000 PCI turns your PC into a raging 3D game machine. The V2 1000 PCI works with your computer's existing 2D graphics card to pump out over 3 million triangles per second to deliver today's hottest games at insanely fast frame rates. Dual texture units on the V2 -- Nos

thus spoke: From the horses mouth! If it's a V2 then it's not a V3, is it? Duh! -- Nos

git. --dk

Sorry gents, I'm so used to writing Voodoo3 that it's become a habit. His card is a Voodoo 2 1000 PCI, which is just like any other Voodoo 2 card. -- Slot www.slottweak.com Tweaks & Reviews "GTX_SlotCar" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:umgT4.9477$[email hidden]... > Someone on the T&R Forum is having problems with GPL 1.2 and a Voodoo 3 > 1000, and I can't answer the question.

As an employee of an independent PC retailer, I can confirm that I've built about 10 systems with the 8Mb Voodoo 3 1000 (and I don't mean a Voodoo 2 1000 either). It's a pretty good card for the price, and is also available retail boxed as the STB Velocity 100 (which is identical). A quick search on the net produced a few links. And I don't understand why having handled a V3 1000 should make me a "git". This card does exist, and is fitted in some Presario's, eg http://www.compaq.com.my/home/presario5800.asp and http://www.sharkyextreme.com/archives/september99_14.shtml and http://computerstore.fsu.edu/pc/compaq/Presario/5868/5868.htm also, http://www.scan.co.uk/sys_idx.htm http://www.compcity.nl/prslst/66.htm or check out the Microsoft Windows 98 hardware compatibility list, the video cards section. http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.microsoft.com/Services/whql/Win98HCL.txt Regards, Johnny.

You're a git because as I pointed out he was talking about a V2 and not a V3. Yea, Dell used those OEM V3 1000's too for a while. Already knew about them. -- Nos
