Better get a Voodoo3 instead. The Voodoo5 drivers for the Mediator do not give you any real benefits over the Voodoo3.

OTOH, the Voodoo3 is cheaper, available, completely silent and does not get as hot as the V5.

are there any other drawbacks having a voodoo 5 than those you mentioned. Like slower screen updates due to the bad drivers etc?are there any other drawbacks having a voodoo 5 than those you mentioned. Like slower screen updates due to the bad drivers etc?


No I don't think so - but it doesn't give any real benefits either (except maybe for the "great" feeling to have a V5 instead of V3). The V5-driver only uses one of the two GPU's - equivalent to a V3-compatibility mode. Further to this, the V5 is not officially supported by Hyperion.
