Summary: Still Have It
Review: I've had the Voodoo3 2000 on my pc for the past 2 years and still can't seem to have the need to change it to something else.
I'm a heavy on-line gamer and am very happy with this video card. Just have to work the jagged edges on some games though. Other than that, I have no regrets owning one.

Summary: WOW! GET RID OF YOUR INTEGRATED AGP!
Review: If you have an integrated agp card in your motherboard, it doesn't compare to the power of this card! Having a Celeron @ 500 mhz, 96mb ram, I was running NBA LIVE 2000 @ 800x600 max with almost everything at minimum. Now, I am running at 1280x1024 at MAXIMUM. This card is great if you only have PCI slots left (it is just about the same as the AGP type). It took a while installing it because my IRQ settings were messed up, but after that....WHEW! BLAZIN!

Summary: Not good, but nice
Review: It's a great card for stragidy games and older games like Quake 2 but for newer games like Quake 3 and Diablo 2 you need a AGP voodoo. a V3-3k is a great cad for these games. This card is a great card for PCI but i highly recomend a better AGP voodoo for todays games.

Summary: Excellent for mid level gamers (I guess)
Review: Like many others writing reviews for this card, I too had an integrated AGP on the motherboard. Installing this card was not much of a problem. Make sure after your first round of installation, you download the latest drivers from the 3dfx site. The card provides excellent enhancements for most games which I play- currently Alice in Wonderland and Real Myst. Both are fairly graphic intensive games. And the card provides wonderful support. However I am not in a position to speak for people who plan to play games with extraordinary frame rate requirements. Anyways the only reason you would be buying this card is if you dont have an AGP slot on your motherboard and your game requirements are not excessive and you are on a budget. Given these three requirements I think this used to be an excellent solution. Is it still an excellent solution? Remember the company has closed down which means customer support will be minimal with no future software upgrades. If you are worried about that you should probably think about the new Hercules Prophet Geforce PCI card released very recently with 32 MB RAM. Amazon is not selling it as yet for some reason. ....

Summary: An excellent upgrade
Review: Low price, features, ease of installation, and super-charged video performance are only a few of the things the Voodoo3 2000 PCI card offers. Upgrading from a previous 4MB accelerator card, I've seen a tremendous amount of improvement in my computer system overall.Obviously 3D applications look amazing on the card, running at very high resolutions and silky smooth. However, another point to mention is that there is such a thing as 2D acceleration as well. The Windows GUI interface is much more speedy, both in overall performance and animation. 2D applications are faster, as all the 2D video processing is done on the superfast Voodoo3 chip. 2D games are vastly improved in speed and picture quality. In fact, my monitor has never looked so good. The Voodoo3 vastly improves image clarity and quality (at least over my other card I had). I've heard a lot of people mention they've had problems with this card, but if you simply download the latest drivers from 3Dfx, you'll have no trouble installing this card. The best $ I've ever spent.

Summary: Wow, am I impressed!
Review: My nice dad gave me this card for Christmas, and as soon as I installed it in my old Pentium 200, I never looked at games quite the same way. They look positively astounding! This card will bring life you didn't even know existed from old clunkers like mine. Though varied, the refresh rate is beautiful on most stuff I've seen, and I can run games now that I never thought I would be able to. Judging by the price, if you're a college kid like me, it's probably a very smart investment if you're looking for an inexpensive upgrade. So why do I only give it four stars? Well, I must be honest. The first card I installed was defective. It accellerated fine and functioned properly, but it displayed a constant blinking - - "grid" of pixels on the screen, evenly spaced. (and I did install it carefully while properly grounded) 3dfx customer service was rude to me once out of three times, but otherwise was nice about it, and the retailer my father bought it from replaced the product without much trouble. Drivers were slightly buggy for a while, but they seem to be fixed now, and it's probably safe to say that my mishap doesn't happen to most people. All in all, go for it!

Summary: Excellent upgrade with super easy install!!!
Review: The Voodoo3 is a superior graphics board and excellent upgrade with a very easy installation process, unlike other boards that I have tried to install. The support from 3dfx is second to none and upgrading your drivers is easy. 3dfx also continues to update drivers for popular boards, even when the next generation comes out...something that others have not done in the past. The price is competitive. The graphics are smooth on my PII-300 for all games played. Highly recommended as an upgrade,especially if you have an older 4MB board!
