There are some nice videos by LGR:

Is there any source for this fact: "Lastly, it should be noted that Voodoo Graphics cards will not work with K7 (Athlon) CPUs, and Voodoo2 cards will need special 3rd party drivers to work with these CPUs. " ?

I had such a system running with Voodoo2 and can not remember having any issues.

Why is in the Voodoo3 series the Voodoo 3500TV mentioned, whereas the more logical follow up would be to mention the Voodoo3500 ? I don't see the TV extension as a crucial feature for the targeted audience.

swaaye is the source for that, can't find the post but he said it just recently somewhere... there are indeed drivers specially made for K7 on falconfly

as for the TV part I tried to make it somewhat comprehensive and complete as possible, not just to cater to a hardcore audience that very most likely knows everything here anyway

anything that's factually wrong or missing? And to all users commenting, please sign your messages with four tildes each time D1stortion (talk) 11:46, 21 February 2013 (EST)

Well, what might be added is that the 8 MB Voodoo already has the advantage of being able to show 800x600 resolution and it is about 20% faster is texture intense games like Unreal. While there is a patched driver for Athlon CPUs this does not mean that the Reference driver does not work with Athlon CPUs. Enigma (talk) 13:03, 21 February 2013 (EST)

http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=34664 I cannot verify this statement myself, but I'll leave it on here for now D1stortion (talk) 13:24, 21 February 2013 (EST)

Benchmarks are ok, but be sure to include the system and OS used for them :) D1stortion (talk) 22:21, 22 February 2013 (EST)

"To get games which were originally made for Voodoo Graphics to work with Voodoo2 boards, one can use the following SST variables in the autoexec.bat" Does this work for all games? Idspispopd (talk) 00:10, 3 March 2013 (EST)
