LAST VOODOO 5 AGP capable Intel mainboard socket?

[Blinx123]

Yeah,but if it's only at 1,5V that won't make a difference thought. The Voodoo 5 5500 needs (as about 2 third of all AGP 2x cards) an 3.3V AGP 2x slot.

Yay,just found this video on youtube and I love it. That was the time Intel truely ruled.

Heh. Just built an 800 MHz PIII system from old spareparts. It's surprisingly fast.
I ran a CPU benchmark on it, and it performs like a 800 MHz single-core Core 2 Duo (expected, since they're based on the same design. :-)

Not really... Core 2 is at least 50% faster per MHz (per core) than Pentium III: larger caches, vastly improved branch prediction, improved SSE/2/3. Depending on code (SSSE3), a Core 2 Solo may be several times (!) faster than a P3.

There may be applications (e.g. very RAM intensive) were the speed does not scale beyond the P3 equivalent, but that's more an exception of the rule.

Normaly, motherboard that supported P4 2Ghz 1st generation are good for you.
My advice is to be ready to sacrify a Rage128 (agp1 2x) or Radeon7000VE (agp2 2x), these are cheap  ;-)

Yeah,but the P4 CPUs are getting a "little bit" to hot for my taste and the deep pipeline architecture of the NetBurst technology won't fit my requirements either. So I'll stick to a nice little Pentium 3 Tualatin512 1,4Ghz.
