Bought my first 3Dfx card (Maxi Gamer Voodoo 1 4mb) for £115 back in 1996 when I was 15, after getting dissilusioned with my Matrox Mystique's inability to do bilinear filtering (though the matrox served as a great 2d card and let me carry on playing the best version of Mechwarrior 2 ever made). Since then I've owned the V2, V2 SLI, banshee's, all the V3's. The reason I wanted to go with a V2 SLI is purely because of the build I was aiming for. And for the fun of it. I'm not looking for superior performance, all the games I will install on this box will fly with the V2's, and if the game is too demanding it goes on my next box up with a Tbird 1ghz and GF2-Ultra.
There are no glide games that I know about (which are worth choosing glide over OpenGL or D3D anyways) that a pair of V2's can't handle. Just a shame one of my V2's was DOA, so will have to shell out another £20 in the near future. 😜
