With a P166, I went to a Voodoo Rush (Intergraph's) from a Stealth 3D and I can now play GL Quake at 24fps in 640x480 in Win95. Before, I got like 27 fps at 320x200 in DOS (by the way, same test under DOS with the new card did 2 fps faster than the Stealth). So, basically, you're talking twice the frame rate, and under Windows to boot. GLQuake2, by the way, does 27fps. The Voodoo non-Rush is faster, and the Voodoo 2 is supposed to be 3 times as fast, or more. Early tests said crazy things like 100+fps! Just as a note, I'm VERY HAPPY with my Rush, so you should be in heaven with a Voodoo 2 :) -- David Ainsburg KrazyIvan wrote in message <66vct2$4...@argon.btinternet.com>... >Got my copy of Q2 in the UK on Friday., and., all said., - this game >ROCKS.!!
