3dfx Voodoo4 4500
View next card View previous card

This is my first 3dfx Voodoo4 4500 and 3dfx's latest production board. It's my first Napalm/VSA-100 based board as well. I bought the card on a fair in the Netherlands. A fair which nearly had 'old-hardware'-stocks so finding a single 3dfx card was a tough job. Imagine seeing a retail V4 4500, almost a miracle.

The box is in good condition and the board is in excellent condition. The first time I saw the board it was like it was never used.

By the time I bought this card I was already trying to start a collection of 3dfx cards. Back then I didn't have much boards, let alone retail boxes. This retail V4 4500 really came out as a surprise and the first sheep to reach my 'retail boxes' shelf. Many others were, and still are, ready to follow.

Drivers

In case you want to run Windows 9x or 2000 on a slower system you'd better install the 3dfx Voodoo4/5 V1.04 reference driver first. In case you run Windows XP and/or a faster system (AMD Athlon 1400MHz or faster) the latest SFFT driver might be a good idea.
