They have indeed merged. You only get newer Voodoo-Cards by STB. No
taiwanese Voodoo clones anymore, I'm sorry.

My quest for hardware acceleration using my Black Magic card appears to have
been a failure. But, in the process I learned that Voodoo3 has a crucial
feature that the earlier 3dfx cards lack: The ability to use hardware
acceleration in a window.
So I count the failure as no loss, for I would
i'd reccomand one from STB/3Dfx, since they now are working directly to
support linux their stuff is sure to work(but even the other brands should
have no trouble)
i have a vd3 ..dont know what brand or model since its not mine(on
loan) but it works fine..quake3 and unreal tournament both fly

I'm a little wary of that combination... My existing V2 Black Magic is an
STB card and it seems to have been orphaned
Well, the only company I know of selling a Voodoo3 is 3Dfx/STB. So if you
don't like 3Dfx, you might have to go take a look at one of the other
graphic chips like the GeForce 256.

well wasnt the black magic card a special card? dual processors on the
board or something? i am not suprised if such a card is not supporte
dunder linux. i recently skimmed over a review of the new dual processor
ATI board that supports win98 *only* (not even NT)
i dont like vd3 because it seems

It's definitely not dual processor. It was one of the first V2 cards out,
though, and I think it _may_ have been the first one with 12 MB RAM on it,
but I'm not sure about that. (You could
well, again its not a hardware issue but a software one.
to do 3D rendering in a window you have 2 options(as far as i know)
1) use XF86 v4.0 (which is alpha)
2) get the developers edition of OpenGL AcceleratedX (about $300 i think)
any of the v3 3dfx cards should do this but not in XF86

you use XF86 4.0 chances are none of the games will work(until they are
updated for XF86 4.0).
You are correct. Glide3 versions are not currently available.
or you could get a Matrox G400 and use openGL and
