You've probably been to
http://www.voodoofiles.com/3dfxhelp.asp only wish I had a 4500. :)
The V3 came to life on the pc, thanks for the pc bios links.
There is a problem with this card changing screen modes, leave it in
the one it boots from and its fine, try a different mode and you
just get a black screen or you might get a colored block display.
Every now and then it will change to the required mode after about
40 seconds. No good for playing games on a mac.
