Nvidia revives the 3dfx "voodoo" GPU line
http://www.geforce.com/#/News/articles/voodoo-revived
Apparently the Nvidia corporation and ex-employees of the now-defunct "3DFX" company have revived the "voodoo" line of graphics cards. Apparently they are releasing a new GPU which has roughly 233 of the old, unmodified VSA-100 voodoo chips inside of it. The performance is roughly comparable to the GeForce GTX 590, currently the fastest graphics card in existence.
I remember, in circa 1998 I got a gateway desktop which had a Pentium 2, 128MB RAM, and a 3dfx voodoo 2 in it. I played quake 2 a few dozen times over, as well as other classics like "carmageddon 2" half-life, and the very first "unreal" game. I had tremendous amounts of fun!
