I'll use a bin editor to troll through the Rampage bios and look for the data needed to calculate the chip speed.

I would suggest to contact the guys from Nexthardware, who manage to run this card.
Maybe Glide or Sirta can help

No help from that direction, they claim all software has been deleted or lost.

Did they ever post any D3D screenshots? Looks like they ran it just in software mode?

Not his area of expertise, he is a hardware guy. I need software guys now. Dirty joke in there somewhere.

Amigamerlin ?

Look here:
"the problem is the current set of driver still unstable

for instance it is impossible to complete a full 3dmark2000
that's why Amigamerlin, one of the few who is still developing 3dfx drivers for winxp and so on, is working and it in order to have a set of drivers to use for the final full review due for mid August
"

Put them online or give them to the community (Falconfly, Rashly...) so it won't get lost. This sucks But good news from my side Ladies and Gentleman, I can proudly present you the REV A2 dongle design! Will get in contact with the PCB manufacturer tomorrow.

But it looks like the Rampage bios doesn't share the same register locations of the other 3dfx cards:
