		+	"The number of 3Dfx Voodoo 4500 models released was very few by modern standards (according to my data, something about 47 thousand cards, 99% of the total circulation has already been recycled), the circulation of 5500 models was ~3.7 times higher, any modern video card like GeForce 980 Ti was sold all over the world in circulation hundreds of times more, do not miss your chance." - Unsure if this is true...

		+	The Banshees have the same 2D core as the Voodoo3 series and Voodoo3 is one of the fastest cards for DOS VESA, so what are the bugs the Banshee has? The DOS VESA capabilities should be identical.
