If you have any more info about these 64bit Voodoo 3 SLI cards I'm sure there are several people here who would like to know more. I've never heard of such a thing.😮

I don't think it was ever publicly released - our department got a hold of them pre-release from the manufacturer (don't recall the name, but it was a company I had never heard of then, and don't remember ever hearing the name again.)

As for benchmarks, it was rock-solid-stable at 60 fps no matter the settings. (We connected it to an early HDTV, so 60 fps was all it could do.) I know we did other benchmarking, but seem to recall it wasn't "ridiculously faster" than a more conventional high-end desktop. Too many oddball parallelism bottlenecks. The big thing was just that it never once dropped BELOW 60 fps.

Galciv 2 is worth playing, it's a lot simpler than Galciv for Windows, but I don't see that as a bad thing. I've never actually used SMP based OS/2, though, as it was an extra cost option and rarely used on servers, let alone desktops.

Galciv will run fine on a VM or an old PC, unless you use a massive universe. The advantage with multithreading was that it could be run on a 486, and whilst you were fiddling with stats, the computer was calculating the NPC moves in the background.

I have dual P233MMX system. Install WinXP and 128MB EDO RAM, so what multicores benchmarks exists for non-SSE multicore systems? What can you advise me? I can use: Wprime32, PCMark2004 but what else that to easy compare for many systems, runnin also on WinXP. I do not want use sandra or Aida because there is many versions which gives differen results, Wprime32 is better that I know.
