Sudhian Media has posted part 2 of their 3Dfx Voodoo5 6000 article series
Some of you are undoubtedly asking why a major hardware site would take the time (substantial) and the cash (even more substantial) to review a three year-old product from a dead company. It’s a fair question, and the answer sets the stage for the review itself and what we are and aren't trying to accomplish.
There's no question that the Voodo5 6000, whatever else it may be, is outdated. Its once-massive 128 meg of memory is now standard, its barely-DX7 compliant design is far surpassed, and its T-buffer technologies (save for FSAA) are useless. It's an anachronism, an out-performed piece of history, and there's no chance of it reaching the performance levels of a GeForce4, to say nothing of a GeForce FX or a Radeon 9800.
