er... with the Opengl (still in beta?) support, or software mode? :)
What i'm saying is that a Banshee is a poor choice of primary video card. It
doesn't support 32bit 3D, and with (the now weary, poor image quality of
3Dfx).
Spring for a TNT for your agp slot, and grab a cheap V2. The Banshee is throw
away material in way less than 6 months, and at least if you have the V2, you
can continue to use glide stuff with whatever primiary card you want. Banshee
limits your choice.
