I had the banshee & loved it, I was thinking more their later cards that got beat silly by ati & nvidia - no hardware t&l even on their final chip. K thinking about it maybe not a lemon.

Definitely not a lemon. My voodoo5 5500 had its royal backside wiped clean by most cards even over two years after it came out. The only thing letting down its monsterous performance recently was the lack of DX9 features.

My brother was using it up until I splashed out on a 6600GT for him.

Only the hardcore had SLI voodoo2 cards  

I used to have a Voodoo 3 2000 great card and it served me well.

the Amstrad GX4000 was my first ever console, it wasnt that bad at all. was a big failure though, but could have been much more.

Voodoo was allright had the potential, just did not have the foods or the progresion curve and future of everything else

I really dont think 3Dfx count as a lemon. Even PowerVR would be a borderline lemon nomination.

Calling 3DFX a lemon is kinda like calling IBM a lemon because they lost the plot later on. No IBM, no PC, no 3DFX, no 3D hardware.

Until the TNT2 came out the Voodoo was basically unchallenged, especially if you had the good fortune to play Quake II on twin Voodoo2s.

We have an OS/2 machine running at work.  Until last week, we also had a P75 running Win95.  That thing was slow but it did its job.  There is also a MS-DOS machine, I am not sure what version.

I think 3Dfx was a lemon.  They had some great products but they broke themselves trying to keep up with nVidia.  They also made an ass of themselves by suing Sega because they didnt win the Dreamcast contract.  Sour grapes.  They were also making the V5-6000 which had 4 chips on it and required its own external PSU.  It still ran slower than a GeForce 2 GTS.  Dont get me wrong, 3Dfx were great yet they still managed to throw it all away and sell it to nvidia for pittance. :-/

Waits for uproar of loyal MD fans  

EDIT: Damn you otter!

i had a number of those and i like em!

still have an MD deck on my hifi at home....

they were really good i thought...

They ARE really good, the technology works great and is perfect fusion of large data storage (CDs) with fleixible recording and playback (Audio Tapes). The problem stems from the fact it launched too quickly, the cost of media outpriced equivalent CDs so people didnt buy the music, the cost of hardware was seen an ALTERNATIVE or EXTRA expense alongside CD players, it was never really going to replace CDs in the consumer market....if it had been marketed to the PC market first there might of been a completely different story.

I still have 2 voodoo II which I ran together, they worked really well

I had one of those.... It rocked !  was way ahead of its time !!

connected it uptp my Amiga 1200 (with a HARD DRIVE and an extra 4 meg of ram!!!)

used to get free CDs with games on to be copied over to the 1200 !  was pretty quick for the time too

heres my contribution

not a bad idea, but came out 10 years too late and far too expencive to ever really catch on, and was quickly knocked on the head by advancing digital compacts.

id hardly call MD a lemon, yeah when it 1st launched it didnt go anywhere but it built up a fair bit, its still relativly common now, but still in CDs shadow

The LS-120 SuperDisk did not catch on
