Howdy! I just installed a Voodoo5 card in my 9600/350 running OS 8.6, with the latest beta drivers installed. So far I've been pleased, and can now play games like Dues Ex and Decent 3 that I couldn't touch with my ix3D Ultimate Rez card. I just need to upgrade my processor since that's the bottleneck now.
3dfx is no longer in business and gamemakers know this, so that's something to consider as to ATI vs. 3dfx. If you do settle on a Voodoo5 make sure your case has good circulation since the card likes to run warm. Good luck! -+-+-+- Sincerely from behind the Redwood Curtain, RPM Len Gerstel wrote: > I recently upgraded from a maxed out 7100 to a 9500 that I am in the > process of updating.
