The title pretty much says it all. Looking for the 3DFX Voodoo3 PCI card for a red board. Mine decided it didn't want to play gold anymore. Thanks!
 
I don't think they are. I have a dead green board that I just pulled and tried. It works, but a lot of garbage on the screen. They're both the 3dfx PCI VooDoo3's. The one on the red board looked like a newer revision with a cooling fan, and the green board version just had a big 'ol heatsink. I honestly didn't think the card from the green board would work, because that whole boardset was basically out in the elements for quite a while (lots of rust and grime all over the place). Still, I'd like to get a known working one. I guess it doesn't really matter what board it's for.
 
I have a red board that was running GT04, but the GT boards were all the same after 02 anyway. The hard drive died and I couldn't get a green HD to work with the red board, so it just sits here...
 
I've heard it can be done, but I don't know for sure.

I do this as a job, too, and at work we had a client with a GT 2005 (at least that's what the marquee said) with a red board that was working except for a trackball and monitor problem. While I was working on the other problems, the hard drive took a crap.

I called my distributor who sent me another 2005 hard drive. When I hooked it up, it wouldn't work. It passed the HD test at boot up, but then froze during modem test. I checked the security chip (should have done that before) to find that - even though the marquee said 2005 - it was actually a 2004.

So, I sent the hard drive and motherboard both to my distributor so they could make sure to match the HD to the board. Well, all the images they have are for the green version, and they couldn't get it to boot with a 2004, nor a 2003 or 2005. As I saw this working before the hard drive started grinding internally, I'm sure the CPU is good, but it doesn't want to work with any of those hard drives....
