Sure. Mind you, once you get a new machine 3dfx cards probably won't
transfer to it because of a lack of OS support, so plan on keeping the whole
box as a unit for playing legacy games.
I recently bought a nvidia 6800GT for my box, and it's a pleasure to
gaze at the quality of games like doom3 & farcry at 1600x1200. Haven't
tried Descent3 with it yet, but have no doubt it will show 200+ frames/sec
at 1600x1200.
