I still love my Voodoo5, even though it cost me $670 AUD when I bought it (shortly after it came out). I was very saddened by the fact the companied died and I won't ever see the card's full potential since there is no longer driver development for it.

But for what I use it for it still serves me very well. Basically I still play UT, Quake 3 and use the Aquarium with it - and I get a fairly solid 85 fps in all three at 1024x768x16.

The other thing I use it for is emulation, where not only is it very fast in 2D DirectDraw, but the FSAA mode is EXCELLENT for Direct3D enhanced emulators of N64 and PlayStation.
