3dfx Voodoo 3 1000 Repair and Enhancements - Part 1

Join me today as I repair two 3dfx Voodoo 3 1000 cards that are in rough shape. Part one includes an overview of the Voodoo 3 1000, the repair of both cards and an in-depth look into the serious thermal problems these OEM cards have. Stay tuned for part two, which will be all about the enhancements!
