I'm a big fan of earlier Pentiums and 3D accelerator cards and have written a few articles about it here:

Voodoo II ! That brings back memories. My brother was quite the gamer and I remember him needing a graphics card for the computer - ending up getting the Voodoo II for his birthday.

The Asus board looks very much like the one I used for the first computer I built for myself, which I later took to France, forgot to switch from 110 to 220 and caused a flash of light, a boom, and puff of smoke when I turned it on. Surprisingly it kept working after that, but was never quite the same.

What games do you play on those old things?

There are loads of nerd forums GS.
Vogons is a great place, where we discuss 486's and Voodoo cards until the sun goes down.
