Hello Steven
I hope I got to you in time !!
Buy a standalone 3dfx Voodoo Graphics chipset card instead of the
3dfx Voodoo Rush chipset card.
The standalone cards have better performance and game compatibility.
Trust me on this. Get the Canopus Pure 3D or if you can't find one
of these, then get a Diamond Monster 3D or Orchid Righteous 3D.
If you research this issue you will find I am giving you good advice
Cheers John Cookson (Canada)
FORGET RENDITION!!!!!!! It has no future, besides.... Nascar 2 will soon
be 3DFX also.
Hmm... what 2D card are you going to put along side the 3Dfx? What if
you're looking to replace your 2D card as well, but only have $100 to
spend? What if all you want is Direct3D performance? What if you don't
have a free PCI slot? What if you work at very high res and color
depths and the signal degradation from the pass-through cable is too
noticeable for your tastes. 3Dfx may be the fastest, but that doesn't
mean its the only or best solution. It's quite possible a Rendition or
Riva128 card could be better suited for some people's needs.

How do you know this! please all knowing one! please let us know!
"Over... did somebody say over?... was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl
Harbor?"
That may be, but it sure is great in the present, at least for N2 and Icr2.

HA!Your a funny little guy,yes you are.Grow up bud.It has a better future than
you. =P
You wont see any improvement if you get a 3Dfx card in ICR2,NASCAR 2,Or
GP2.Rendition's Verite 1000 has excellent SVGA and should speed up GP2 a couple
FPS.Possibly get a Screamin 3D or Total 3D.Both are manufactured by Canopus and
have a slight speed advantage over the Intense 3D and 3D BLaster.

For what it's worth, I have the Sierra Screamin 3d and absolutely love it,
have had no problems with it in the almost year I have had it now. Nascar2
and Icr2 have awesome graphics and great frame rates with it. I was able to
run N2 on my old p90 with all graphics on, before upgrading to the new Dell
233. I quickly moved the Sierra card into the Dell system, my Matrox
Millenium II that came with the Dell now resides in the old p90.
