Voodoo II and 100mhz Motherboaerds?

With the release of the 100mhz MBs just around the corner I was wondering if anyone could throw some light on the issue of how current VoodooII's being sold are going to cope with these MBs. Will there be specific VoodooII's or will the AGP versions fit right in? -- We are the Hosh! You will be assimilated! Lower your defences and surrender! Your technological and biological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Your culture will be adapted to service us. Resistance is futile. Have a nice &*($ing day!

Check out the interview at www.op3dfx.com with the guy from Diamond. He's talking about the Monster2 and mentions the 100Mhz bus subject. Basically, at 100MHz, you're on your own, no guarantees, no support..

Thanks for that info Rob. I'll bet this will catch a few off guard. Oh well, I was always gunna wait for Voodoo II prices to drop in price here in Australia from the ludicrous $695 they want for a CL 12meg board.

US$260.95 plus shipping from NECX (www.necx.com) Mine is on backorder, expected ship date March 25.

I thought the PCI bus would still be 33mhz on a 100mhz memory/data bus. Am I wrong in thinking that? -- Nos send all flames to: http://www.cris.com/~nosfer/index.html ICQ:#8844008
