Well, I finally managed to get the Voodoo3 2000 out of my wifes PC (it took an incompatibility between the computer game I got my wife for Christmas and the voodoo3 card to do it though :-) and into the 7200. Thanks to Tim and Korin who replied to my original post and helped with getting drives and the bios for this card. Installation went smoothly (even with flashing the bios this was easier than some video card installations I've done on PCs) and the Voodoo3 seems to be functioning fine. I also found a few web sites along the way that were a help with this as well. http://www.mac3dfx.com/voodoo_three.html http://www.v3info.de/english/html/macbios.shtml http://www.falconfly.de/voodoo3.htm Now my problem is what can one run on a 120MHz 7200 that would make use of the Voodoo3 card? Sure I've got a much better range of resolutions and color depths to choose from for my desktop, but I would like to see this card but to good use with something important, like a good game that will get some benefit from that card. :-) Does anyone have any suggestions for games that might work on this old PowerPC and benefit from the voodoo3? I've been looking at Myth II but the specs on that seem to call for a minimum of a 200MHz chip.
