I just got the Diamond Voodoo2 wth 12mb of ram and it COOKS. The first time you play with 3dfx2 accelleration it sorta takes your breath away. Card installed in about 5 min and Win 98 detected it and let me install the drivers from the cd rom without a hitch. I have played both unreal and Quake 2 and both are incredible on the card. (you need to download a patch on unreal to get the 3dfx drivers to work. The patch is on their site). Quake 2 on the net with this card is unbeatable, much easier to size up your opponent and the graphics just have to be seen to be believed. A very worthwhile upgrade.
