POD with DirectX 7a and Voodoo3

Hi,

Has anyone been able to make POD run with this kind of config?
PII-266
160Mb RAM
Voodoo3 2000 PCI
DirectX 7a

The install don't recognise the Voodoo3, it seem to want to install
DirectX 3 files, said the installation is incomplete etc...

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Yep, I got POD running on my V3.  Although I had to run it in D3D since the
frame rate went so high in Glide mode that it actually sped up the gameplay,
so the whole game was running twice as fast (poor programming there).  If
you've got the original version and not POD Gold then I think you will need
the patches from Ubisoft.  If the installer is installing the wrong .exe
file then you can just copy the correct one off the CD into your pod
directory and run that instead.
Top game by the way, the first racing game I ever played on the net, and I
hear they are doing Pod 2.
