GPL is pretty much CPU limited.  Going from a V2 to V3 didn't get me more than
one or two fps.

Upgrading from a Voodoo 2 to a Voodoo 3 ( For Gpl )

Hi,

Now that the prices of Voodoo3's have started to come down I was thinking of
putting one in to replace my current system of a Rendition V2200 (4mb) as my
primary and my 3d card of my Magic Voodoo2 (12mb). The only problem is that
on my system I am not sure if I will get much of a difference in frame
rates. Especially in Grand Prix Legends, which is the main reason why I am
upgrading. Below is my system configuration.

Super Micro P6SBA Mainboard
Pentium II 300
64Mb Ram
Rendition V2200 AGP (4Mb)
Magic Voodoo2 (12Mb)
C-Media 8738 Sound Card

Please if you have any advise or anything you would like to contribute
please do so.

Thanks in Advance
