Maybe you can trade it for a non working voodoo 1

What a pity you could have sold it for hundreds, it's a freaking rare card too bad you ruined it.

No one cares about the old first rev v5 5500s, they are ultra common. People want the rarer revisons like 1.18-1.11.

craig you are talking about the BIOS revisions which can be flashed on any 5500. There were no later hardware revisions that would make a certain 5500 rarer than another, 3dfx wasn't around long enough to make changes. If you had an engineering sample with DVI and tv-out though, that would be valuable. Actually no it wouldn't, the Mac version of the 5500 had DVI and can be flashed with a PC BIOS.

Really? Wow, I was really misinformed. I was under the impression they had hardware changes.

I still have the retail box with all the paperwork for my Voodoo5 5500 agp and I also have a S3/Virge Voodoo3 1000 agp which was made for my compaq 5852 which also still works. I would like to know if anyone else has heard of a Voodoo3 1000.

I got a 5500 1.11. But really. I gave it away. I was saving it for a legacy rig... but meh. I now I wont like my older games as I might remember them. The thing was a overclocking screamer. I liked my geforce2 better. Well, kinda, it was a sort of love/hate relationship.
