Well, it's Oct. 12th, and nothing from TDFX...looks like they missed another deadline :) Well, maybe I'll give them a few more hours...stick 'em on Hawaii time and give them the benefit of the doubt. :p If part of the deal includes DX6 drivers today, can we expect a speed up in D3D benchmarks? Just for newer games or also legacy DX5 games?

Tony, My Raven worked just fine in the D3D stuff I tried: Shogo, NFS3 (copied the d3d driver to voodoo2.dll). I have a Celeron 300A overclocked to 450 (100x4.5). Abit BH6. Didn't try anything else since I bought my 2nd Voodoo2 two days later. (I bought the Banshee for 2D since my Viper V330 would not work under Win98.) I highly recommend the Abit motherboards. It has a BIOS Soft Menu feature that lets you choose your clock speed and FSB speed. And it is one of the few motherboards which lets you run Celerons or slower PIIs at 100Mhz FSB. (This make VERY little difference in Q2 framerates, but seems to speed up the normal operations quite a bit.) Gool luck Tony! Now you know why it's the "bleeding edge"! Tim
