    Im wondering how much a VoodoO 3 Should Cost.

    My P.C is a 333mhz celeron, 64mb sdram 4mb ATI Video Car

    I bought 32mb sdram for 20euro is that a good deal?


    :confused:

    Those cards are a fair bit behind the times now.
    I had one lying around for quite a while before I was able to sell it (for £35 about six months ago).

    The card does have OpelGL and Direct3D support, just don't expect great frame rates in the latest games.

    And, 3DFX are no more, something else to bear in mind.

    You would probably be better off with a cheap Radeon or a Geforce 2 mx.

    ya but he's runnin a 333mhz computer, so it wouldn't make much difference.
    If ya do decide to get GeForce2 MX make sure you have an agp port on ur mother board or else get a pci one.

    I agree about the Geforve MX over the voodoo 3 , had them both in an old 400 of mine , Geforce will get more out of it.
    As regards what you paid for that ram , I bought 256MB of SDram of a mate for £30 (punt) a while ago, I know you could get 128 for about 24 quid, has it gone up again ?

    €20 for 32 Megs of SDRAM is a bit on the dear side.

    I'm assuming that your system uses PC100?

    And RAM prices have gone throught the roof of late.

    I built a system with PC2100 DDR last October. My RAM cost me £35 Irish for each 256 Meg DIMM I bought. Prices are starting to look like they might hit three times that soon.
