Notes

My 3dfx Voodoo5 PC for 3dfx Lans, built with the best parts to support all 3dfx Voodoo5 6000 revisions as well the EPoX EP-8K3A+ is the motherboard to get, thanks to it's stable AGP voltages  ex-3dfx Engineer Hank Semenec even advised me this motherboard.

As Ex-owner of the Legendary 3dfx Voodoo5 6000 AGP 128MB Rev.A 3700 myself I had this motherboard in the past and I had nothing but solid dead stable performance and there was not even one thing that went wrong.

The EP-8K3A+ this system has is a fully recapped one, all of it's capacitors were replaced and renewed :) that was the only part I had to buy the rest I salvaged from myself which I had laying around, I cleaned it renovated it and rebuilt it gave it a fresh installation of Win2K Pro UK + SP4 and it's all good to go :)

it's main VGA is the 3dfx Voodoo5 5500 AGP 64MB Rev.A 2500 (Week 25 - Year 2000)
5500 AGp's are widley common as main use for 3dfx VGA's go and it runs every 3dfx Glide game just fine, the only advantage the 6000 has is four 3dfx VSA_100 Rasterizers over the two the 5500 & 5000's have and the 6000's can do Rotated Grid Super Sampled FSAA x8 as well as x4 & x2 which the Voodoo5 5000 AGP x4/PCI 32MB & 5500 AGP/PCI/PCI Mac's can do.

The Voodoo5 5000 AGP x4/PCI never made it to the market the same fate for the Voodoo5 6000, but the 5500's did which is a good thing to have round :)
