>Will the 3DFX Voodoo 3 16MB PCI video card work in the PCI Macs? Yes, the PC version of the 3dfx Voodoo3 16mb PCI card will work in PCI Macs (I have one in my 7600). You need to download 3dfx's beta BIOS flashing program to reprogram the BIOS on the card. Once you do this, it will not work in a PC anymore. Then simply install the included drivers. >If so, will it work as a general purpose video card or only for games >and >such? There is some support for OpenGL and Glide (many games work), and acceleration for the overall interface. It's a whole lot speedier and allows better resolutions than the onboard video on my 7600. Note that this card only has a PC video port, and you'll need a PC monitor or a PC-Mac Video adapter. Also, these drivers work in OS 9.x (I think 8.x too), but NOT in OS X. OS X will not boot if the Voodoo is your primary video card :( Hope this helps. _________________________________________________________________ Join the world�s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
