impressive, aaron.

i've came across a V5 a "long" while ago... is that card still worth it?
if not, i felt very sorry for him spend $300+ back then.

Voodoo 5's are only really worthwhile now for old games (The FSAA is superb for older games), and for N64 and PSX emulators.

Yeah, if/when I do upgrade (probably more of a "when" than an "if" though, lol), I'll still keep my 3Dfx cards with me, mainly for glide support, and the fact that its nice to have a piece of computer history with me. :P

However, I'll still jump at the chance to aquire a Voodoo5 if I can (that is, if I can wing it and still have something left in my bank account, lol).

They are something of a collectors item now, but you should be able to get a PCI one for less than GB£70

I was talking on eBay, like where I got mine. New onbes are few and far between, and are probs expensive for their rarity value.

Yeah, I know all that.  What I plan on doing is seeing if my parents will be willing to pay for it for Christmas, LOL, if I find one at a good enough price during that time. :D

-edit-
Of course, that prompts the next question: V5 5500 or a working V5 6000? :P  The answer to that is an easy one as well: I'd get the 6k, as long as it was one that actually works.

Lol, that's a bit silly IMO. The Voodoo 5 6000 are rarity items and frequently sell on ebay for upwards of $700. There were very few of these boards every made....

That last part I wrote was tongue-in-cheek, Lord Kane.  Yes, you are correct on both counts, working V5 6k's are RARE, and are truly expensive.  Not to mention they are about a foot and a half long, they're so big some people can't fit 'em in their comp's case!

Well... At least it's posting the required specs...

Min Required: P3 800Mhz, 128megs RAM, & a Gefore card w/ 32megs of mem. (They don't specifiy what kind.)

Recommended: P4 (no speed listed), 256 megs of RAM & a GeForce 3 or 4 Ti with at least 64megs of mem.

It looks like they are recommending the GeForce4 Ti4200 as the card to use. (I can't really read japanese, but I can get the gist of it.)

Besides, if anyone DID import it, they'd have to connect to the Japanese servers. That'd make a lot of problems in terms of connection speed...

When you are going across the world though, you start to run into the speed of light problem.

Say I'm in New York, and I want to play a server in Tokyo. That's 6760 miles. The speed of light is 186,000 miles a second. In ideal conditions, your signal has to go from your computer to the server, and back. Say that this travels at the speed of light (it does not - it is slower due to overhead, A/D conversions, electricity travels a bit slower than the speed of light, etc.)

So, we have to go 6760 miles there, and 6760 miles back. That's 13520 miles. At the speed of light, there and back it takes 72.688 ms (((13520 miles) / 186000 miles/sec) * 1000ms/sec). So, at best you can have a 72 ms ping. And that's using grossly bad estimates. (Not taking into account time lost by routing hops, A/D conversion, network overhead, latency, etc.)

You really can't defeat the speed of light.

Heh. I new they showed the last few Ghibli films in theaters in the US but I didnt know it was that bad. Bastards. Disney are idiots for even thinking there animation comes close to Japanse Animation.

Anime >>>> Disney

.........

Wtf? When I try to run this bench mark I get the error

"Windows cannot acces the specified devive, path or file. Youmay not have the appropriate permissions to acces the item"

Eh???

Looks cool, but thanks to the Real Player format it looks really choppy on my PC (I cannot be bothered to update it....)
