So I've come across a 16mb Ensoniq Banshee and want to play with it. I have a P3 450 on a Intel 440bx board and also a celeron 300a on a 440lx board. Which of these would best match up with the Banshee card. Will the P3 450 cause the card to run too hot? Also would some sort of voodoo 1 or 2 be a good match for a k6-2 350 with on board agp video. I seem to have read that the AMD cpu has some problem with 3dfx cards. Any advice on drivers for win98se would be welcome too. Appreciate any help or comments

The AMD CPUs should work better with 3dfx cards as there's a bit of 3dnow! juice put into the drivers

BUT

the P3 450's got considerably more CPU muscle

Either's fine as well as period correct.

FUCK "AI". It is a tool of fascism. We do not need it. We do not use it.
