thnak you very much for that Velocity 200 photo set Cheesy

really nice man, and that V56K cicuit test board is a V3 1K8MB @ 143 Mhz, very interesting a Velocity 100 ran that speed also, and a normal V3 1K ran @ 125Mhz, funny.

But what are those three big square like things on that Voodoo 3? would they have been sockets for VSA-100's or so?

1) You have to remember the board was for dynamic load testing of the Voodoo Volts power supplies, I doubt how the card performed was of much importance. They just used the cheapest chipset they had on hand, hence the velocity 100 specs.

2) Has something to do with simulating the electrical load of a V5-6000 running. Someone with a background in electronics might be able to offer a better idea then I.

Are you sure about the Voodoo3 1000 clock speed ? Is a Velocity is faster clocked ( 143 mhz) as a Voodoo3 1000 ( 125(?) ) ?

Only the Compaq V3-1000 16MB was clocked at 125 mhz.

The Gateway V3-1000 "Bonesteel" aka Velocity 100 8MB is clocked at 143 mhz.

NOTE- A large number of 3dfx lab cards have no heatsink mounted, this is normal due to the fact most of the cards had temporary clamp on heat spreaders so the cards could be modified with ease.

Sorry, little question: For Velocity 100 (or GateWay V3 1000 or also called Bonesteel), bios shown Velocity 100 or Voodoo3 1000 ???

The maximum resolution is restricted to 1280 x 1024 pixels. " If I find some spare time I'll have to look around ebay for one to try.

Neither card is functioning so really can't answer the question, I am told it is a dual head like setup though.

I'm going to try and get one of the boards repaired, if so then I'll sell off the other.

On the website these pages have been updated with the new cards-
