Since the voodoo5 is a 3.3v AGP, what is the latest cpus/mobos that are able to be used with it?
 
err. pretty much any CPU Will be able to support it.

May I ask why you ask us of this?
 
I didn;t think newer mobos could support 3.3v cards. My NF7 manual, if I remember correctly, says DO NOT USE 3.3v cards
 
Eh, was feeling nostalgic, so I won a voodoo5 on ebay (I never had one and always wanted one). Bugalaman is right, newer boards are AGP 1.5v, and do not support older 3.3v AGP cards. Therefore, I wanted to know what is the fastest cpu/mobo combination that I could use with a v5. (Pentium3? Athlon T-Bird?)

I had a voodoo3 on an athlon classic 700, so my best guess would be any cpu/board that was using pc100/pc133 memory?

:D ....and I just happen to have 3 or 4 mobo/proc combos sitting in my shop that would probably work....if you're interested? ...probably be able to include some memory too :)

Yea, I've been scouring ebay.ca, as I'm in Canada. You're in N.Calif, so shipping may be a factor...whatcha got anyways?

Hmm, what'd you pay? Maybe I should sell one of my two 5500's. What would I rub every morning before work though? I have two hands!

Hehe. that's my classic computer (well a voodoo5500)
I did the same thing as the original thread starter. I wanted to build an "awesome" voodoo machine. Plus the games that are voodoo only that i still have...wanted to play those ;)

1] TB 1.2/Aopen MK33/256mb Crucial PC133 C2

2] TB 1.266/Soltek SL75DRV/256mb Crucial DDR C2.5

3] P3-800(slot 1)/MSI-BXMaster/128mb Corsair pc100

4] P3-700@933/MSI 6309 (via apollo pro 133a)/128-384mb Apacer/Infineon pc133 C2

you can research those and if you find something you like we could work something out...shipping to Canada isn't to bad, airmailed a package to Burnaby yesterday for $3.75 :)....several years ago I sent a mobo/proc combo to the Netherlands for around $18
 
My a7v333 (up to athlon 2600 I believe) supported 3.3v AGP.

However, that would be a real overkill for that video card. One of those P3's would be a better setup.
