On these "slower" machines, I am always a friend of cards that have excellent image-quality and excellent drivers for different operating systems. If I can equipp the system with an additional 3d-accelerator than my first choice is matrox, my second is ati.

So I get one compressed file on the logical volume (D:). After I have installed …

you just have to buy the right cable and you will get no degradation. I equipped all my voodoos with passive heatsinks. if you are using a tft that can run up to 75hz I recommend 60hz for 2D and 75hz for the voodoo. on my L367 these settings provide a nearly exact picture if you switch to 3D.

Small CPU => best Option 3dfx. A "small" Celeron 300A can drive a Voodoo3 to play most games in 1024x768. If you are in "early" 3D Stuff with a "lowend CPU" then 3dfx is the choice to go for. Lot's and lot's of fine stuff.

I really love the Rage128pro in my G4cube. It's the standard card for that machine and it has a very good image quality. It's directly supported on some mac-software like Connectix Virtual Game Station (VGS) PS1 Emulator!

I have bought a midi-programers cable and use this to go in a MU50 and from that to the MT32. The drivers/patches that are required I will get from cloudschatze. I think I will check that out in the next view days.

Yes I read about DX6 that uses MMX and some 3Dnow Optimizations. For 3dfx MMX it is not really important. I remember Games that worked smooth even on P133/166 with 3dfx (voodoo1) and not much better on 200mmx with 3dfx (voodoo1). That may be different in higher CPU-Classes. I mostly stick to the …

I mostly use DX5 or DX6.1a on Win95 machines. Games that require DX7+ will not work good on that old K6/P2 because I mostly use low-end onboard GPU combined with Voodoo1 or PCX1/2. With DX6.1 you mostly have all your 3dfx-games working already.

Has someone optimized the image-quality (vga-through) on his orchid v1 ? The diamond monster3d is far better. Compared through the same cable. I am sure that it has to do with the relays that the orchid is using.
