I currently am using the Reactor card and am very pleased with the
results for N2 and ICR2 but GP is not as good.  I know that GP is not
optimized for the Verite chip, but is there anything I can do to
improve the of that game?  Should I install a UNIVBE driver?  I
currently dont have it now, if I did would that impact N2 and ICR 2?
Could I get the UNIVBE driver from the Reactor disk?  I dont want to
pay for the SCITECH Display Doctor.  I would appreciate any
suggestions.

I think you are getting a fair to good performance from the Verite as is
in GP2.  GP2 will report the video performance based on the VGA not the
SVGA performance.  The verite cards suffer extremely poor VGA
performance.  Just don't believe what GP2 says your expected frame rate
should be.  Fine tune it with the CPU Occupancy.  Try to get it down to
80-90% when not in heavy traffic and you should be doing pretty good.
The verite performs about the same as my old ATI Mach64 did in GP2.

GP2 needs processing power.
Simple as that but as expensive as upgrading your CPU/Motherboard to the
fastest that you can afford.
