Don't make me pull out a random pile of parts and tape them together!

Does that computer actually function?

Would the Voodoo II actually make games any faster? hahaha.

It looked a little dicey there for a bit to find Win98 drivers for the GF4... (and yet I have no problem finding v2 drivers for Xp...)

Maybe Glide only games?.... if there were any. Good question though.

I'm sure the 4200 would beat the shizzle out of the voodoo II heh.

Flama's got it, super old games will only run 3D with a 3DFX card. The 4800, well it's got VIVO, so maybe I can bring my VHS collection into the current millenium.

No, no, no. VHS collections belong in the 20th century :P

I've either borked the OS by replacing a dll with one from the Voodoo drivers, or my CD-ROM is borked, I've got both video card showing up at the desktop, but no circa 1999 games will install. (Unreal Gold, Unreal Tournament, Q3A)

POS wouldn't work with a USB key, I had to find a fricken CD to burn, software to burn it, then do it a couple times because the zip was corrupt.... :roll:
