Title: Questions about 3dfx Velocity 100
Post by esters on 18.08.07 at 10:20:17

A month ago i got an 3dfx Velocity 100 from a friends pc from which he wanted to get rid of :)

Ok about the board - well it's a typical 3dfx Velocity , BUT :

It has EliteMT RAM chips (M32L1632512A H2A96-HA 9943S-7Q)
Producton date - 9950 , or the date is just normal :)

see TM30's post, that's what made me ask this question :)

Is it possible to activate the second TMU on Velocity ?

Well, it's a Velocity 100...
These cards were often sold in OEM Systems back then, as a cheap 3D Card (alternative to the Voodoo3, which was a more expensive, "full" Gaming card)

The situation changes if you have one of the elusive Retail Velocity 100's, these make for a nice Collector's item if the Box is still in acceptable condition.
