So can anyone answer how Voodoo2 fullscene AA can be achieved in hardware when the hardware doesn't support it?

Check out this fullscene AA shot from gigapixel:
voodooextreme.com

And this is only 640x480! The only reason we use higher resolution is because of the natural AA we get from it. Our televisions don't get anywhere close to 640x480 but I never complain about "banding" or "pixelation" with it. The solution is in the rendering and increasing resolution is like using a sledgehammer on a thumbtack. Here's hoping 3dfx has figured it out.
