Yep, an S3 Virge-based card can run just about anything perfectly fine, at fairly high resolutions/refresh rates. However, it doesn't support OpenGL, so to get the GL experience on games like Quake II, a Virge chipset video card won't help you. Based on what I've learned, there are a couple of options. First, you can buy a new video (2D/3D) card; the best are probably 128 bit cards based on nVidea's Riva chipset (Diamond Viper v330, STB Velocity 128), or you can buy a 3D card to link to your existing video card (the best are based on 3dfx's Voodoo chipset (Diamond Monster 3D, Canopus 3D).
