I was playing around with a very old computer I had when I stumbled upon a interesting video card. I was curious if this was worth anything. I doubt it is, but I have a feeling it is.

The comp has a 200mhz pentium, 2gb HD, 32x CD-Rom (Or less...), 36.6k modem... you know, really outdated stuff. Anyway here we go:

And yes, I know the pictures are sideways, but my comp is being evil and won't let me change it. :(

It's an original Voodoo 3d accelerator... I don't think it's worth very much. I've got on lying around here.

Wow, we have two of these... I think I'll save one, it would be a good collectors item. As for the other, do you mean not very much as in less than 100 or not very much like less than 500? :D

Yah, I had an old monster 3D lying around that I thought I would never use, but it came in useful...
I gave it to my brother, and he now uses it to run a second monitor. So keep those old video cards, you might just use them some day.

I will, since they have some sentimental value. (They were part of the first computer I ever owned.)
