I recently upgrade my comp. to celeron 433 and graphic card to Voodoo3 2000 AGP and hope to get a decent picture quality for the movie. Well, the quality of picture is good, but, my computer crashed daily (blue screen) because of the excessive heat of the VDO card. Driver that came with the package was not work, neither did the updated driver on the net. This happend even when I use 2 fans to help air circulation (one right on the heat sink, one one the PCI slot). I have 4 fans in my comp., does not do any good. I have to open the computer cover to releif the situation.

Damn i bought it because of the customer reviews, and they right "it is the ____!".I have Unreal Tournament and i could run it so smooth. It never skips or pauses.I have not one problem with it that is because their is no problems with it.I would recommend it who ever plays intense games with high resolutions. You will be pleased by its preformence.

I was looking for an inexpensive card that would let me play 3D games. Didn't want to spent major $$$ for a top of the line card. Did some research and decided on this one. Installation was super-easy on my 333mhz pentium. I was up and going within 20 minutes. Even the 2D is an improvement over my previous 4MB card. I would recommend this card if you are in the market for a low cost 3D card and are not a super-super-serious gamer that is only going to be satisfied with the top of the line.

3dfx have come in for some heavy criticism lately for falling off the cutting edge, failing to support 32bit colour and so on, but the fact remains that the original leaders of the PC 3D revolution are still producing fine cards. The 2000 is certainly able to cope with anything I've given it, whether in native Glide or Directx. Open GL support isn't great, but for the money and for all bar the most avid gamer, I see no reason to avoid buying this card. Frame rates are certainly high enough, and the fuss over 32 bit colour is a bit of a non-starter as in most games you'll not even notice. this may not be as future-proof as a Geforce for example, but at the price this is a fine upgrade for users of older accelerator users wanting to import some gorgeous graphics onto their system.
