I have purcheased F1RS, and need to upgrade my 3D accelerator.
I am considering a Monster 1, and would appreciate yout input.
I don't want to cough up the higher prices for voodoo2 cards, and am
wondering how F1RS runs with the Monster 1.
My current card is a S3 virge 4 Mb.
Thanks
Kai St-Louis

If you can swing it, I agree, get a Voodoo 2. The image quality is better,
and contrary to common wisdom, it IS faster on the same processor than a
Voodoo 1. And some newer games will start to use some of it's features that
aren't on the Voodoo 1's.
It IS 10%-20% faster on a 200 mhz PC than a Voodoo 1, just it get's twice
that fast on a P2-300. I think some thought pop this in a 200 and get
double the framerates vs. the Voodoo 1 and so are disappointed. I wouldn't
really recommend buying one to replace a Voodoo 1 on a 166 or 200, not THAT
much better, but since you're starting from scratch I'd say get it. And if
you do like me, and move from a K6-200 to a P2-400, the card goes with you
and does spectacularly on the new processor, whereas a Voodoo 1 wouldn't be
able to keep up with the new system - so if you think you might upgrade in 6
months that's another plus for the V2.
But, if you can get a good Voodoo 1 used for $50-75 or a new one for $100
and aren't upgrading for a while, it's a great addition - you'll love it!

It would be interesting to know what kind of CPU you use...if it is a
CPU up to 233mhz you should take the Voodoo I, above I would prefer
the Voodoo II.
Regarding your question: I'm running F1RS with a Monster 3D I, AMD K6
200 and 64 MB RAM and it really kicks ass ! <g>
Also, man mailt sich...
