I just bought a Konami Viper Arcade-PCB with Voodoo 3 onboard for 12.48$ (+shipping). The Voodoo 3 sits in the top left corner with four SG-RAM-chips like a Velocity 100.

Besides, why would you do that and risk damaging the card permanently seeing as it is a somewhat rare card? Besides, it has a V3 2000 chip on it, performance will be the same most likely.

Well I also have one card of this type and won't be making any changes to it unless I find a twin.
The whole point was out of curiosity if someone has tried this before and the results but not for performance testing or anything but if you don't have all the arcade pieces to make it work than you might as well consider it dead (for showcase only).
I like to see it alive even thou it might be considered a "Frankenstein" Cheesy

Items I bought in the last days:

Interact Hammerhead FX limited edition boxed new

Edited:

Oct. 7th: received it today

An Atari Wayne Gretzky 3D Hockey-PCB:

And a Desktop TV/FM boxed new, maybe sealed (I think you already found these auctions, too Wink

), the seller offered me to lower the shipping costs by shipping just the card without the original packaging which I declined of course...

Edited:

Oct. 9th: received it today, without going to the customs, and it's sealed!

Whee, two Voodoo2's paid for, now the waiting begins.

The first one is a Legend V2 which was offered on eBay but nobody bid on it. I wanted to bid but the seller had restrictions set. After a few emails he was willing to ship to the Netherlands and informed me he had another V2; Volcano 3DX2000.

50 Aussie Dollars in total; a bit less than 32 Euro's
