Voodoo 3 2000

Do Drivers Exist for a Voodoo 3 2000 AGP video card on Windows Vista

 

A voodoo card?!!

There are no drivers I could find for vista on google search. I didn't think there would be.

 

Nope I had a trawl of http://www.voodoofiles.com/ and there seems no offers of 3rd party drivers for Vista thus far, if ever thereis then it would be voodoofiles that had them.

But then those cards dont have anywhere near enough memory let alone GPU power to even get a screen up in Vista so I don't it being a likely event to be honest.

 

Well, I Got Some XP Drivers (Amigamerlin I Think) and Gave Those a Try. It Worked. I May Not Have Aero, But My Machine Works Great. My System Specs:

Pentium III 647.2 Mhz (Slot 1)
256MB of RAM
Intel i815E Motherboard
1x 20 GB Seagate HD
1x 10GB Maxtor HD
3dfx Voodoo 3 2000 (16MB) AGP 1.x/2.x
Samsung CD-R/RW Drive (48x)
Generic DVD-ROM Drive (24x)
Wireless Mouse & Keyboard
Dell P1130 21" Flat Screen CRT Monitor (1792x1344 at 32bpp Max)
Generic 3 1/2" Floppy Drive
Windows Vista Ultimate

 

I have to say that is actuallly impressive in a way....There should be some sort of competition to see who can install and run Vista on the least capable machine. I say you should get some sort of prize for being able to even go online and post something with that rig! And Ultimate no less!

 

It has been some feat considering 'their' spec for Vista.

As long as it works for you that's all that matters.
