hello gang,

descent II was my favorite. for some reason, D3 just didn't do it for me. 
anyway, i'm putting together a system JUST for D2 since it won't run under 
WinXP. so far, i've cobbled together a pentium II 400mhz CPU, 384mb of PC133 
RAM, an abit BHa6 motherboard, and for graphics i have a canopus spectra 
2500 + creative labs 3D Blaster Voodoo2 12MB. not only am i having trouble 
finding the right drivers for these last two items, i cannot remember what 
else was involved in getting this old 3DFX setup to work. i've been 
searching the web and seem to getting more confused all the time. ANY help 
on getting my video cards working with D2 appreciated! thanks.
