    Anyone still using their Voodoo 5?

    I still have mine, but I dont use it any more because OS X doesnt support it. =(

    I am very curious about how well it performs on the newer systems with the 2.8 ghz P4 and Athlons, because we never really saw the full potential of the card. I know it works with RtCW and Quake 3, so can anyone provide any fps figures?

    I used it 8 months ago.

    And I also bought it the first day it came out back in 2000.

    I just popped mine into my G3 and played some UT in glide mode. =0 it was nice. Quake 3 worked before I replaced the V5 with the radeon, but now it is a lot of white boxes. I think it is the old rom, since I just flashed it back from the x86 rom, so i need an update. Cant wait to try wolf with the V5.
