Sure, but dgVoodoo is still a good 90% solution. With DX9+ card, yes.

Voodoo 1/2 were designed as arcade/simulator hardware first and desktop use was more of an afterthought surprisingly.

Voodoo 2 memory size is tricky, because everything is separated to different chips. Voodoo 2 8mb has only 2mb for each texture mapping unit, which isn't any better than Voodoo I. Uh huh, cool, and a game that does this and the effect can be visible is... Quake 3 is horrible on Voodoo 2 for example. …

3850 would be faster in most cases.

but the GeForce2 GTS can run many Glide games using dgVoodoo Wrappers can't display all Voodoo features correctly without DirectX 9 hardware. And even then you can't emulate how 3dfx cards filtered textures (DX10 or better hardware required).

This isn't just a rip-off - it's an exact copy. It isn't.

I'm 100% OK with that. AGP Video, PCI net, PCI SCSI, ISA sound. AGP card might take two slots though.

The most downclockable Pentium III you can get is 533/133. Exist both in Katmai and Coppermine lineups. Some motherboards can work at 50mhz, so Pentium III 200mhz is achievable. Also have my eyes peeled for an AT P3 board, but those have got to be pretty few and far between Most of them has …
Re: Help me decide which processor for this build- PIII or PII?

Highest clock rate, 133 FSB = more FPS If we're talking about unlocked Pentium II, then it's a moot point. Even vanilla Pentium II 233 can work at 150mhz FSB with 2x multiplier, although it won't gain any significant benefit compared to 3x on 100mhz. Why not get a 1GHz + 100 MHz Slot 1 Pentium-III …

The problem is I cannot find any. Well I can find earlier steppings or 3,4 GHz D0 but those are not the ones I want. Just take 641 D0 and overclock it. Although there's very little difference between C1 and D0, especially if you're not into overclocking. Both has reduced TDP.

Depends. Virge DX/GX can actually accelerate, but you had to sacrifice all the bells and whistles like filtering, high resolution, etc. 3Dfx Voodoo 1 set just the bar too high for any budget card.

I think lightmaps are killing it more. For example Blood 2 runs somewhat playable at 400x300 with filtering, but without lightmaps.
