At €15 I’d have bitten their arm off. I do have a 5500 (PCI) also, but I took a punt on one that needed repair, it cost around £75, bit of a gamble but it paid off.
As said...colud kick myself. 😒 I own a small/medium collection of voodoos w/o any special things...see the paragraph below.

I had Voodoo 5 5500 once, but i changed it to a lot of very old CPUs, now i own Voodoo 1 up to Voodoo3, no Voodoo 4 or Voodoo 5 at the moment.
My first Radeon card was Hercules 3DProphet 8500 LE 64MB AGP and from dual cards i have Radeon HD 3870 X2, but no dual Rage 6 or Maxx.
The Hercules Hercules 3DProphet 8500 LE 64MB AGP was also my first Radeon, following a Gainward GeForce 2 something and a 3dfx Voodoo3 3000 @200 MHz (sandwich cooled). Couldn't find it, but I recall (hopefully correctly) that @yjfy has posted a Rage 6 dual prototype on Twitter...so you definitely didn't have one, there was no dual Radeon before Radeon HD 3870 X2.
As said above... I own a small/medium collection of voodoos w/o any special things... 6x Voodoo Graphics, 1x Voodoo Rush, 7x Voodoo2, 1x Voodoo Banshee, 5x Voodoo3 AGP (1x 2000, 2x 3000, 2x 3500), 1x Voodoo5 5500 AGP. Except the Voodoo5 I got all for a very small price +/-20 years ago.

Rage 128's the first.
Rage Fury is Rage 128.
Rage 128 Pro / Fury Pro's the second iteration and adds DXTC
Pro Ultra is an OEM variant.
Fury Maxx was the most infamous/overrated for the premature double GPU novelty
XPERT 2000's are also Rage 128 Pros

Rage < Rage 128 < Rage Furry.
This thread is dedicated to the particular Rage 128 lineup, not the entire Rage brand, so good job with that smug-first-reply. also what's a rage furry
Smug? What are you talking about? I'm so sorry about misspelling the ATi Rage Fury™️. I didn't realize that a grammar nazi was lurking around.
leileilol's post wasn't about your grammar, but about you were just throwing in a link in the first answer to the TO and mixed up "Rage" (the name of many series of chips like Rage, Rage II(+), Rage IIc, Rage Pro, Rage XL, Rage 128, Rage 128 Pro, Mobility, Mobility 128), "Rage 128" (the Rage 128 non-Pro series) and "Rage Fur(r)y" which isn't a chip at all but a specific video card from ATI, the "ATI Rage Fury"with Rage 128 (non-Pro). So that others could ask you "What are you talking about? It doesn't make any sense." and call it "smug". I didn't because I don't have any offensive diction, but I asked myself...
kind regards
