I finally broke down and decided to try a Radeon 7000. The VooDoo5 is 64 meg while the Radeon is only 32, but I have heard a lot of good things about the Radeon in the gaming world. I play QIIIA a little bit... :)) The Radeon 7000 ROCKS. My fps has more than quadrupled and it is so fast in the game that I lose myself while I'm moving sometimes! lol All of their software works on OS 9.1 and even 2D is much faster. I even notice it in my scrolling! Check you installer log. This is what mine says: Thursday, December 26, 2002 6:59 PM Beginning installation.
