Your Voodoo 5500 is a PCI??? I was under the impression that the PCI Voodoo 5 was only for Macintosh.

I also have the Voodoo 5 5500. I have never seen that artifact, and have used many drivers. But my V5 is an AGP card, not PCI.

Maybe those drivers are defferent.

Also, a Voodoo 5 can not be over clocked very much before causing problems. Make sure its not over clocked.

Over clocking a Voodoo 5 only gives about a 1 or 2 % increase before you begin to see artifacts. When I had mine running about 5% higher (not even enough to notcie the speed increase) I had so many speckles in the video it wasn't worth it.
