My first video card was a Voodoo 3. (I still have it in storage.)
Funny story: About 6 years ago, the video card in my PC died (an ATI Radeon). I didn't have another PCIe card & no built-in video, and I absolutely had to use my computer for something (probably check email), so I dug out my old 128MB PCI Voodoo 3 and plugged it into my XP machine.
Damn if it didn't work! It was dog slow, I couldn't run above 1024x768 and it didn't support DirectX, but XP included Voodoo drivers on the install CD so I could use it.
I used my PC like that for about a week (even watched TV in a 640x480 window). Amazing piece of hardware.
