Well it's time to update my "state-of-the-art" machine from 1999.  I'm
looking to purchase an entirely new machine with something like 2.6 GHz and
a G4 card.  My questions are :
    1) Will D2 play on a PCI VooDoo 5 card, which I can get for about $40.
    2) Will D2 or D3 work on Win XP or should I partition my disk with a Win
98 portion on which to play Descent?
    3) Is there anywhere left to play D2 on-line with a lot of other
players?

Thanks,
Sledger (aka J. Bravo)
