I am sorry but there are 3 different types of Voodoo 3 (2000, 3000, 3500)
The 3500 is the best of the three, though is only available in AGP. The 3000
is rather nice, but is still only available in AGP. The Voodoo 3 2000 is
available in both avilable in PCI and AGP forms, though the PCI one was
almost stopped
at the production line...Std/3Dfx though there was no point in supplying it
to a handfull of users when they will probley upgrading their motherboard
and thus buy a
3000/3500 version later (and will be annoyed to have to do so).
The Voodoo 2 is considered obsolete and to get full power/profermance from
it you need two PCI Voodoo 2s in SLi mode (thats two PCI slots of 4
remember).
I will probley get end up with 2x Voodoo 2s from my PC and an old TNT
card...the futures bright the futures Amiga...I wish anyway!
