      I have a Diamond Stealth 3d 2000 (S3) video card and I would like to add
a
3dfx card to go with it.  I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for my
system.    P 200 with mmx,  64 mb ram,  Windows 95.  I use it for Racing
games(Papyrus) and also for war games.  I am wondering if the new generation
cards would be too much for my system and if there is an older one that would
work well?

        Thanks in advance
                  Keith

Voodoo2 is more than you need given your CPU.  If you plan an upgrade in the
next 6 months you could do a V3 2000 PCI ($120) which will be useful as your
2d/3d card in a new system and work in your pci slot of your current system.
No AGP card would work with your current system.  You could prob find a used
voodoo2 for about $40 that would work well.

I have an even older system than yours, but with my 12MB Voodoo2,
games performance can be superb!

I may not get the best frame rates, but at least I can run even the
most demanding of games without too many problems.

Voodoo2's are also dead cheap these days.
