Sad thing was this card was brought out when Intel made the new 500 and 700 Mhz shitty processor.

This card was top on a 3.0 Gig CPU It ran any games smooth and fast.

@Mysterious0Bob Or even "You're" if you're going to be a smart ass :)

@starsiegeplayer I have my Voodoo5 I could never let go of it..

Gonna buy a system for it one day again AGP with a 3.2CPU and keep it in there for old games.

@Dorisequador The V5 can run on PCI slot pretty fast. The V2's tho... they only can do 16 bit color (I still have a pair of em too :) )

@gamewizard You know what your right ! For what it was it was incredably fast.

I wonder if they built a supper fast CPU 5000+ and added a AGP slot on the motherboard for older cards like they do PCI and see the Voodo05 shine..

I still love my Voodoo2's they run all the games at 1024 x 768 32 bit all graphics full details in GLide go figure that one out.

@Dorisequador

Actually, AGP is faster just some cards didn't take advantage of the full speed. We're talking about AGP 2X here, not 4x/8x. 4x/8x are much faster and it took a while before cards started saturating the AGP bus. PCI is normally 33mhz but on some server boards there were 66mhz PCI slots, which are the slots that I was comparing AGP 2x to. As far as the Voodoo 5 goes, you just have to look at comparison tests to see the speeds are about the same between AGP and PCI versions.

@gamewizard True AGP and PCI ran the same speed even today PCI is very fast they just make a reason to buy a new motherboard .. sales keeps them alive bud..think about it.
