With Voodoo3 cards now available for under $100, would I see some
performance improvement in N3 & NL with a Voodoo3?  Thanks for your help.

yes!!!!! But don't get a Voodoo 3 3500.. they're shite beyond
recognition :)

get a Voodoo 3000 (AGP) 'cos the PCI Version is just basically a Voodoo
2 board with 4mb extra ram :)

I've got a 450 Mhz Pentium II and a Voodoo2 PCI card.  N3 and NL are
basically the only games I play these days.  I still have to limit some of
the options in order to get a decent framerate.

i run N3 at 1024x768 with all graphics options on,
and get a solid 30 fps.

I rather doubt you'll get much improvement out of a V3 over your V2.  I
am surprised though, that you have to cut back options on your 450.

framerates in N3, Legends, and GPL as my roommate who has a similar
machine with a Voodoo 3 3500.  I'm going to wait for Voodoo4 and 5
before upgrading--because other than improvements in resolution in
non-Papyrus games, I don't see the benefit of the V3.  Also, I am
stubbornly*** on to my Stealth II Rendition card for CART Racing.

N3 Uses AGP 'cos I run an AGP Voodoo3 3000

No, it doesn't use AGP.

i think what is meant, is that n3 does not use the agp specialities of
the card.  i run it on a p2-400, 128 m ram, w a v3-3500, all options,
on,1024x768,  max drawn ahead & behind, and get 20-30 fps.
