ripped this off from voodooxtreme voodooextreme.com -------------------------------------- After the recent circulation of some rumors regarding Quantum3D's "The Brick", which went something like: "dude, it has four Voodoo2 processors", I decided to fire off a question to Rob Ligeti of Quantum, to get the poop (turns out to be quite a bit more than that). Here's his response: "The Brick" you mentioned in your voodoo extreme article is actually 4 Single planar Obsidian2 200SBi boards with a hardware 4:1 pixel averaging subsystem linking them together. This feeds into an I/O card for 1024x768 full scene hardware antialiased output at 60Hz. This is housed in our 6U rack mounted Heavy Metal Mercury Graphics Workstation. Total, that's 8 voodoo2 chipsets running in parallel, each with 16MB of texture memory and 8MB of frame buffer. It looks as good as SGI's Onyx Infinite reality....but cheaper.
