It's great to own a VooDoo

[<Robertx>]

So many hardware websites are doing regular articles on budget gaming machines. They almost always unanimously select some form of GeForce2 MX as the recommended video card for a budget gaming rig.

Since the demise of 3dfx and the subsequent drop in price of the VooDoo5 5500, I think that it deserves more consideration for "budget video card". These cards are far from obselete and the combination of quality, features and performance are hard to beat in its price range.

That's not to say the the GeForce2 MX is not deserving of its accolades, but the VooDoo5 is equally deserving of positive press given its current price point.

Many of the previous critizisms leveled at the V5 were valid when it was first introduced, but for me, it is now the value video card of choice.

What does everyone else think?

Yea, I own two 3000's and a 5500, they play every game perfectly. The drivers will work with all games for many years to come, despite what you all say.

Ya I agree...... all games work before and all game will work later. ;)

Like I said a few months ago... I'm going to coat my V5 in plastic after I replace it, so it'll last forever. :D

I'm also thinking of getting second-hand Voodoo cards... One Voodoo Graphics, one Voodoo2, one Voodoo3, perhaps even a Voodoo4. Then I can make a museum in my bedroom and sell them in about 20-30 years as collector's items for a fair price, hehehehehe. I'm so clever.
