    What can you do with it compared to a retail unit? Is it similar to a PS1 dev kit where you can play backups and non licensed games?

    Not exactly backups, but its basically the best kiddie pirate tool out there. Since you can launch games off hdd that are signed with the devkit rsa keypair you can pretty much covert any retail game to work on your dev. Also you can some games that you couldn't on retail.

    This is an easy one. It would definately be my fully functional Rev.A 3700 128MB 3dfx Voodoo5 6000 Prototype and Rev.A 00203A Voodoo Volts. Damn thing cost $2,500. [money well spent however]

    Imagine playing some of your favorite Glide games with 8x AA. Simply beautiful. [Unreal... drools]

    And yes, that is 4 GPU's running in Quad-SLI.

    @rottentreats: well, if you really paid that much, didn't you kinda get srewed when only getting VGA?... For that price a DIGITAL connection should be a must, oppose to ANALOGUE one?...

    I don't suppose you have any idea what that is do you? DVI wasn't around when the card was made, I don't think it was even released.

    Hot stuff rottentreats.

    Hmm, i states nothing about the age of the card, and I just figured, when it sported 4 gpu's and sli, it would be of relatively new date.

    I gussed somewhere like 2k3, and dvi was, as far as I know, around then.

    But still, no matter when or where, 2500USD for a freakin' graphics card is insane.

    You have to do some serious video editing or 3D modeling to justify that:eek:h:

    Ahh, my bad:)

    Yeah, guess it was pretty extreme for it's time;-)

    Still think the prie is steep though...

    Er DVI was out in 1999 and the underpowered Voodoo 4 4500 and Voodoo 5 5500 had DVI flavours... so it's strange that the most powerful card they did didn't have a DVI port... although DVI compatable monitors were expensive at the time but still...
