The Velocity 100 has less memory than a V3 2000. In practical terms this means that 1024 x 768 is as good as it gets. I found that some games will work at 1280 x 960, with some displaying missing or weird textures.

As always it boils down to what you want to do.

I would install the best video board you have available that is equal to or less than a 5950 Ultra or 9800. Then call it a day.

That being said the ATI 9600XT and the Voodoo2 looks like the best option.

With a 9600XT you could probably just run a wrapper and get better performance across the board whilst leaving an extra slot free.

Either way, the 9600 is probably the best choice.

Ah, I hadn't thought of that. A glide wrapper. How... retro

voodoo 3 3000 is perfect for that system and cheap to get, voodoo 5 even better.

Otherwise i would pick the geforce and voodoo2. If you want to use the 9600xt, i would build an athlon xp system.

I would find the Geforce DDR too slow and the ATI 9600XT too ... boring.

Optimal cards Geforce 4ti + Voodoo 2 SLI.
Ebay is your friend 😀

I see and hear all of your suggestions.
I was going to build this with components on hand as I am a "picker" at my local recycler.
I will have to wait until the best parts find their way to me.
After all, new stuff comes in weekly.
