Cheap Grex PCI 1200 cards for 54 EUR!

AFAIK the is no OS4 support planned for the G-REX, that`s one reason why they are sold so cheap, on the other hand OS4 for BlizardPPC is miles away anayway.

No, with an G-Rex 1200 you could not use the BVisionPPC anymore, as the G-Rex connects to the BlizzardPPC the same way the BVisonPPC does.
Although the Voodoo 4 and 5 are found to be compatibel to the Voodoo3 driver by accident I would still advise to use a VooDoo3.
The perfomance gain of useing a Voodoo insted of the BVisionPPC with it`s dated Permedia2 is overwhelming (mainly the games aren`t going that much faster but they aren`t going any slower when you increase the resolution. Have you tried Payback in 800x600 on your BVisionPPC ? Then try ist again with a Voodoo3)

> The Grex has drivers for Voodoo3, Voodoo4 and Voodoo5 alas there should be no problem for Effy to use his Voodoo4...

Yea 2D wise you are right. I was thinking straight away to Warp3D, `cos what is the point of a Voodoo if you don`t use it for 3D.
Yes I know the VooDoo3 Warp3D driver works with 4 and 5 as well, but is is not officially supported, so there "could" be some compatibility issues.

As for the burning up problem: whenever this occoured I am pretty sure the user was running it without connecting the Powersupply directly to the G-Rex as is is clearly stated in the manual.
Even old PC-motherboards burned up since some wires weren`t up to the job of delivering the currency powerfull garphikchips demanded, that`s why the VooDoo5 even has its own 3.5" powerconnector

Yes that exactly how I meant it. Reading my own comment again, I see how this could easyly be misinterpreted.
