Re: 3D cards

Hi there,

I know that a lot of poeple use 3dfx (voodoo1 and voodoo2) cards with linux,
you can find more about it here:
http://www.gamers.org/dEngine/xf3D/howto/3Dfx-HOWTO.html

The voodoo 1 cards are good and now very cheap and will enhance your
gameplay to no end, once youve seen quake2 with a voodoo you wont, cant, go
back hehe....

A new card on the block is called the TNT and is suppposed to be better that
3dfx, you can read about it at http://www.tomshardware.com

I have not heard of any use of the TNT with linux yet though......

Cheers,

Michael.
