3dfx Voodoo5 6000 VSA-100 revisions

  • There were some adaptors planned, afaik and they were on some exhibitions. You can find some pictures of it online.

    I don't know what happened.

  • yep its like that.

    and i don't know any IDE HDD that goes faster then 60-70mb/s

    But yeah the chipset is limiting the bigger cpus. I'm running a 1400 mhz Athlon. That is a good combination.

  • What Bier.jpg meant was a Socket A motherboard like Gigabyte GA-7IXE4 with Irongate chipset.

    Would of been cool if Dual Slot A mainboards were made :topmodel:

    Such a board would be completely useless as the original Athlon (K7, Argon, Pluto/Orion, Thunderbird) doesn't support SMP. AthonXP/AthlonMP is AMD's first CPU to do so.

    Oh I know that but then again it would of been nice if they did have such an option, sadly AMD lovers had to wait til the AthlonMP Palomino's came out the 1Ghz & !.2Ghz I believe that were, and later AthlonMP 1500+ and beyond.

    the 760MP chipset for the classic AthlonMP's all Palomino cores and the 760 MPX for Thoroughbred A , Thoroughbred-B & Barton, it was something like that.

    yep its like that.

    Epic CPU them T-Bird 1400's is it a B model with 200Mhz FSB or a C model with 266Mhz FSB, combine withese with PC_2100 and you have a nifty speedy setup, even enjough juice to take on P3-S 1400's easilly hehe,

    My friend OC'ed his T-Bird 1400C to around 1550Mhz with an Aplha 8045 with Papst fan back in the day, these were fun times.
    The Mobo used was the infamous ABiT KT7A-RAID, he took good use of Soft Menu III which these boards came with.

  • Yes I will check the caps on the Antec PP-303X before I use it.


    When it is working correctly I think it will be great for my machine. It did very well in AnandTechs test back in the days.

    By the way. If I want to buy a small amount of NOS VSA-100 320 chips like 5 pcs, will they be hard to find?

    as said they are sold out, VSA-100 220s a re your best bet.
    The VSA-100 320's that are left over are kept for repairs and chip replacements., many have tried to find these but no luck.
    320's were produced in a very limited stock as reason, and the remainder were bought up bu several people from this forum those that do conversions and mods etc.

  • Thank you Oscar! I didn’t know the 355-0026-220 also reach 200MHz. Maybe there are no big benefit by using the 355-0026-320 then?
