Voodoo 5 with a P III 500?

by Marc Goldstei » Fri, 21 Jul 2000 04:00:00

I now have a Voodoo 3 3000, which I'm thinking of upgrading to the new V5
5500. My system is a P III 500 with 128 megs of ram. Is it worth upgrading
or will there not be much of a difference with the 500 MHz chip? Thanks for
any advice.

  Will you "see" a difference?   Yes and no....Older sims like N99, SCGT,
GPL positively "shine" with FSAA.  with N3 there is little difference
because N3 already had software AA and with a P3 500 you should have been
able to max that out.
  Just depends on what your *** pleasure is now and what you plan on
doing for the next 6 months to a year.

Thanks Dave. I guess I'm just not sure if I want to spend that much money
yet. We'll see.
