Hello vogons Initially I have thought that I already have found a good basis for my 97 to 99 dram gaming machine. A pentium 3 800mhz hp. The only stuff missing would have been a Voodoo 2 or Voodoo 3 graphics and then I sound card and then I could get startet.
A disussion in the video cart section of the forum that I a p3 800mhz could be to slow under some special circumstances for some games made me thinking again.
How far could push a Voodoo 2 or Voodoo 3 card cpu wise to really get every 97 to 99 game running perfectly? Something in the pentium 4 range? or Athlon xp or maybe even athlon 64?
the main point of the my plans was to get good 3dfx glide system but in case the ultmative version of a 97-99 gaming machine would need a more powerful card than a Voodoo i would also consider ditching the Voodoo and replace it with something like Geforce 4, a card that been recommended here very frequently.
But my main fields of interest are still the Voodoo cards and I am curious now how far a voodoo 2 or voodoo 3 can pushed cpu wise before it is really getting out of hand.
