I recently acquired a Voodoo2 card (Diamond Monster 3D w/ 12MB) that is working so far in KQ8 and Unreal. TR1 gives me a blank screen using the rush patch but I haven't tried the batch method yet. but anyway...
I have a Voodoo3 3000 AGP coming and thinking of doing a clean Win98 install so I'm looking for some advice and guidance...
First off, system specs
ASUS P3V4X
512MB RAM
P3 933MHz Slot1
- Throttle does work to run games like Descent in DOS
Audician 32 Plus w/ Dreamblaster
Network card
USB 2.0 card
Voodoo2 (at least for the moment)
My questions/considerations:
- How much is it worth having both V2 and V3 in the same machine? Any downside having both than just having the V3?
- I don't think I'm going to go too crazy trying to get really old DOS Voodoo games to work. TR1 would be nice though.
- I can't find a V3 compatibility list but I have found the V2 list on Vogons
- Do V1 DOS games work under Windows with a V3 card?
- What are the best drivers, especially if I go V2-V3 combo? I tried the latest "fast" drivers and so far so good except TR1 (but I do need to try batch file)
- Any other things I should consider?
Thanks
