	Review - Voodoo 5 5500 AGP // PC /// Eurogamer
		The VSA stands for Voodoo Scaleable Architecture, with the 100 probably indicating that it is the first generation of the chip - I wouldn't be surprised to see VSA-150 and 200 at some point...
		This is reminiscent of running two Voodoo 2 boards in what was termed SLI, and seeing that such a rig offered the best performance of its day, it is no surprise that 3dfx have labelled their Voodoo 5 5500 as a "64Mb Dual-Chip SLI 2D/3D Accelerator".
		My biggest hope is that 3dfx will improve their drivers and lower prices to make the Voodoo 5 5500 even more competitive, as until they do it is a little under-performing and over-priced compared to other company's offerings.

	Voodoo 5 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Voodoo 4 4500 was beaten in almost all areas by the cheaper GeForce 2 MX and Radeon VE and it was an abysmal failure.
		The planned but never launched Voodoo 5 5000 had 32 MB but otherwise it was similar to the 5500, although the 5000's reduced memory failed to significantly reduce manufacturing costs.
		The Voodoo5 5500's big brother, the Voodoo 5 6000, never got to the market due to a severe bug resulting in data corruption on the AGP bus on certain boards, and was limited to AGP 2x, which would have prevented its use on the then-new Pentium 4 motherboards.

	3dfx - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The two initial products were the Voodoo 4 4500 (single chip) and the Voodoo 5 5500 (dual chip), with a further two parts, the Voodoo 5 5000 (dual chip, but with a smaller frame buffer) and the Voodoo 5 6000 (quad chip) due to be launched later.
		The only real advantage the Voodoo 5 5500 had over the GeForce 2 GTS or Radeon was that its superior anti-aliasing implementation, and the fact that it didn't take as large a performance hit when anti-aliasing was enabled.
		The Voodoo 5 6000 never made it to market, due to a severe bug resulting in data corruption on the AGP bus on certain boards, and was limited to AGP 2x.

	3dfx Voodoo 5 6000 Review
		Based on the VSA (Voodoo Scaling Architecture) 100, the V5 6K was the ultimate over-the-top product; a 128 meg card when 32 meg was standard and 64 extravagant, a 4 chip architecture when other cards used only one (two at the most) and, inevitably, a (proposed) price tag that could choke a donkey.
		The Voodoo wasn’t the first 3D accelerator on the market, but it was the first 3D card on the market worth using.
		The Voodoo, in contrast, was fast, powerful, packed a whopping 4 meg of RAM on board, and was offered as an add-on card to a user’s primary video adapter.

	Preview - 3dfx Voodoo 5 6000 // PC /// Eurogamer
		At the end of the day, the Voodoo 5 5500 just can't provide FSAA and the kind of frame rates that hardcore action fans demand from their games at higher resolutions, although it certainly works a treat for things like flight sims and 3D role-playing games.
		The Voodoo 5 5500, on the other hand, uses two chips, and the resulting card is about twice as powerful as a result.
		The Voodoo 5 5500 is not quite as fast as the NVIDIA GeForce 2 or ATI's Radeon 256, but it is certainly no sluggard.

		Well, it is not because your Voodoo 5 is crap (I still use one at home...trusty vid card) but because the drivers for it are not "100% DirectX 8.1 Compliant", which Hitman 2 requires.
		It needs to be 8, and my guess is that your Voodoo 5 is the same.

	! The Voodoo Queen: Marie Laveau and New Orleans Voodoo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		There's much more to Voodoo than the stereotypical witch doctor fiendishly jabbing needles into dolls, and those who dreaded the wrath of a particular woman in old New Orleans would readily attest to that.
		The most prominent figure in the true history of Voodoo in America was Marie Laveau, the legendary "Voodoo Queen" feared and revered throughout 19th century Louisiana.
		The ancient rites of Voodoo -- along with a heaping helping of down-to-earth shrewdness -- propelled her to a profound level of influence among the common folk and the aristocratic gentry alike, a feat nearly unimaginable for a fl woman in the oppressive days of slavery.

		We were fortunate enough to receive an early version of the Voodoo 5 5500 PCI card, and have been wowed by the beauty of its "full screen anti aliasing", otherwise known as "FSAA".
		However, the Voodoo 5 5500 also needs a electrical power, and so the card will be shipping with a power supply Y-cable to help with that internally.
		The Voodoo 5 5500 is the first video card to support Glide (3dfx native), Open GL (which is what ATi supports), and RAVE API's.

	Retro-test : Voodoo 5 6000
		The FSAA 8x mode is only available for the Voodoo 5 6000 and as you can see it's almost a pure marketing feature because the framerate is really too low to have a good gaming experience.
		The Voodoo 5 6000 has the best results in 2x FSAA mode which is a good compromise between speed and quality.
		Doom 3 isn't really playable on the Voodoo 5 6000 because its lack of TandL support (remember that it's a 5 years old card), the best that we can do with all options set to the minimum is something like 5-10fps in 640x480 and thus is unplayable.

	Epinions.com - Nvidia now, and apparently, Nvidia in the future as well
		Since the Voodoo 5 5500 and the Geforce 2 will be coming out at approximately the same time, and will be priced with $50 of each other, it makes sense to compare the two.
		Since the Voodoo 5 6000 uses 4 processors, (and 128MB RAM) it will outperform the 5500, but the 6000 will not be available in June, and it is also in a radically different price class than the Geforce 2.
		Also of note is that the 667 texel fill rate of the Voodoo 5 5500 is about 40% of the speed of the 1.6Giga Texel fill rate of the Geforce 2.

		This was a monitor next to monitor comparison running the same mission at the same time. The x4 setting on the Voodoo 5 simply is without compare on the Nvidia, this is probably as it should be considering the different implementations and the completely different focus.
		Indeed at high resolutions and high FSAA settings the Voodoo 5 is as fast to the Geforce as the Geforce was to the Voodoo 5 at low res. We could say that the Voodoo 5 is a better card for people who want all the eye candy that Flanker has to offer.

		It must have been difficult to match his debut (and the frequent delays prove it was on his mind), but Voodoo is just as rewarding a soul album as D'Angelo's first.
