"The slipstream drive enhancement for the Voodoo 3 is an extraordinary product."





Below is a simple chart explaining all the overclocking possibilities I went with. I went in 5 MHz increments, except for the first jump, where I went up 4 MHz to even things out.

*stable - It would successfully run through 1 hour of Q2 benchmarks without crashing.
*Achievable - It would boot to windows

obviously 200 MHz seems to be the sweet spot for this card. There are many factors that can affect a cards overclockablity. Heat usually plays a major role, but since I had the nifty fan/heatsink on, it was never a problem. The quality of the ram on your board is the other major factor. Not all the V3 3000 boards use the same memory, and some is more stable at higher speeds then others, so watch that.

The slipstream drive enhancement for the Voodoo 3 is an extraordinary product. The price (only $24.95), the performance, and the overall quality of this product makes it a must have for any power gamer's arsenal. That is why a am giving it the relatively unheard of 10/10 score.
