Brian Hook, id Software, Programmer I'm really really really REALLY amazed and giddy at how fast the Voodoo2 performed. John and I were absolutely dumbfounded at the performance we saw, which was just phenomenal given that it's fairly old by accelerator standards. Major kudos to 3Dfx's OpenGL team for improving their driver as much as they have recently. I wish we had managed to test the Voodoo3 we have at 1600x1200, since it should have performed phenomenally well because of its strong fill rate. Unfortunately I "upgraded" the BIOS on my V3 and it's not feeling very well right now. But if extrapolation proves correct, the V3 may actually prove to be the fastest board of the lot even at 640x480, since it's 38% faster than the V2 on a PII/300 and thus could be that much faster on the PIII/500. Once my board is healthy again I'll put up the numbers. finger.planetquake.com Marc
