Voodoo 5 5500 PCI 64mbs....

Not realy... you're better of with a Voodoo3 3000/2000 as they are better supported. The Amiga is the bottleneck, not the graphiccard, so you won't get any more speed out of it compared to the Voodoo3... and the drivers only support one GPU so the seccond one is unnused... and as the Voodoo5 split the mem 32Mb for each GPU you only get to use half the mem on the card.

Besides the card is humongos, use active cooling (2 noisy fans) and requier extra power plugged to it for it to run.

I have been offered a Voodoo 2 12mb I think for £10, is that a better bet?

No support for Voodoo2 at all. The driver is a Voodoo3 driver but also work with Voodoo Banshee/4/5 cause the hardware is somewhat compatible.

Voodoo3 3000 is the best you can get but a Voodoo3 2000 is almost as good and well worth buying also.

If there's room in the machine and you can get hold of a AGP2PCI addaptor you could even use a Voodoo3 3500, don't know if the Amiga gain anything from it but it is the best card that's fully supported by the driver.

Don't think so. :-?

Same problem apply to the Voodoo4 card on the Amiga, it uses a Voodoo3 driver so not all screenmodes will be available and you don't get much more speed out of the card since the Amiga is the bottleneck.

AGP is basicly a redesign of a PCI slot. Addaptors to change between AGP and PCI does exist... but it will not work with AGP4/8 cards, only old AGP cards such as the Voodoo3 3500. :-D

And yes it does exist... search for AGP2PCI on Google/Pictures
