Loved my Voodoo3. Very stable drivers for the era.

Ah, this takes me back. I remember the switch from PCI to AGP, realizing the 3d performance of the Voodoo 2 I had obtained a while ago would no longer cut it.

Trying to return the accelerator claiming it was pristine and unused, only to have the sales guy inspect the gold fingers on the PCB, the imprinted slide marks of the feathered PCI contacts clearly visible.

Knowing glances were exchanged, but the trade was accepted, upgrading said artifact in the process.

Seeing how I already stumble through a desolate, barren wasteland, encountering a Voodoo 2 would most likely bring me genuine joy.

My Voodoo Banshee was like opening up a new world. Games like GTA and Warzone 2100 looked so much better. It was always fiddly to get the glide version of games to run. But once they did wow baby it was like being transported into the future.

It even had a TV out and seeing the games on a big CRT screen with so much color was amazing. I still have that card somewhere in a box. Along with the Voodoo 3 I later got. Good memories

Voodoo2 was such a game changer back then…made everything so real! As it so happens, installing the artifact was one of my first major forays into PC internals. Good times, thanks for the memory =]
