Cheap 3Dfx card??

Wondering if anyone here has any opinions regarding a new cheap 3Dfx card I found in a local computer store, it's name escapes me (other than starting with a J) but it had 6MB of memory and it said 3DFx chipset (Dunno if it said voodoo rush chipset, the box was pretty obscured). Does anyone have any info? It was selling for $180 + taxes CDN a major improvement over the Diamond Monster's $280 + taxes! (Of course the next question I have is is it worth spending the money when all I have is a Pentium 100?) -- Daniel Amsler

it depends on which games you're intending to play ... some will stay play well on a P100 (w/a 3dfx card) , but games like Quake 2, Jedi Knight will likely be unplayable regardless. This is just a suggestion: get a new cpu & mb , you can get a P233MMX & TX mb for around $275 Zif

I have the Flash 3D card with voodoo 3dfx chipset, 99 pounds here in UK, must be about 160 US$. Works really well. Good Luck Mike ~~~~

I found a monster 3d at best buys for 179.

Jaton card I think. Didn't do so well in article I read. I bought a Orchid Rioteous for $99 from www.onsale.com. I think Monsters can be had for $150. The best of the Voodoo 1's, the Canopus Pure 3D, with TV out is $180 directly from Canopus.

If it had 6mb and was 180 it was no doubt a VooDoo Rush card. Would not advise you to buy it.The "cheapest" 3dfx board 3d only board is the Flash3d. They work just fine... YES....it is worth it. > Daniel Amsler
