Hi all,

Finally bought a Voodoo GPU after many months of umming and ahhing over the right one.

Anyway, I'm just wondering what to do with regards to switching it with the TI4200 I have in my PC currently since they're both AGP cards and I have the one slot. Is it just a case of uninstall drivers depending on which card is in? I know how tempermental 98 can be when it comes to drivers etc, so I was wondering on the best course of action with this.

Thanks

Sometimes I don't even care to uninstall drivers from windows 98 and it still works like a charm though this would be the most recomended thing to do

If you're not inclined to reinstall Windows, you might as well just plug in the card, install the new drivers, and see what happens.

This may or may not be relevent to you. But make sure your AGP slot supports 3.3 volt cards like the Voodoo.

Thanks all, looks like I will just plug it straight in a see what happens.

And good thinking Rhuwyn, I had a quick panic yesterday when I thought about it, but fortunately my board is 3.3v
