Its an emachine 500i
the system is like also 7 years old and has
Some old Florada brand board
500mhz cele
165mb ram

Definately the Voodoo 3 dude :grinthumb (should be a lot faster and has more onboard ram, plus unlike onboard video it deosn't share your system ram) .. although this is still a very old card by today's standards but you obviously already know this :wave:

I remember my first computer, I had two Voodoo 2s hooked together to play Quake 2! I was supposed to get a $40 rebate from 3DFX but, well you know the story...I thought I was sooo high tech then haha. I should have hung onto those cards, ah nostalgia. Funny but to this day I still play Q2! It's a classic.
