Did the V56K work?

Does anybody know if the card they auctioned here worked?

A Voodoo 5 6000 for $610 is a . . . deal.

Just wondering if anybody had any links or info.

My Voodoo 3 2000 PCI died a month ago!

I think I still have a Voodoo 2 somewhere here :P

About the auctioned card, it would be cool to know if it works.!
I'm interested in that !!!

can you get a v92 flash upgrade for it?

Omg, that....that thing is a monstrocity! What were those guys thinking @ 3dfx.

I dont think it'll fit in my case!!

Edit:
Check this out, I googled it and came up with this description of the V56k:

"The first thing to note about the card is that it is big. Very big. In fact it's about a foot long, carries four processors (each with its own fan), and features 128Mb of memory to support them. Not only that, but it needs its own external power supply to feed it the electricity that all those chips need. Called "Voodoo Volts", the adapter is itself an impressively chunky piece of hardware, pumping out 50W. It's really a ridiculous card, but no doubt the sheer size and brute force of it will win it fans in the hardcore community."

yeah, it looks like an old vlb "vesa bus" card!

I didn't get this at first!

hehe, some of my subtle humour..sometimes it works sometimes not....

I do remember hearing about those vid cards though....wasnt it something like they had em planned and then the got bought out or whatever and besides that, the competition had come out with something that obsoleted the voodoo5 before it even got out? Something like that anyway.

Yep JP.!
And that was NVidia. They kicked 3dfx ass and well ... the rest is history.
