Does anyone know what this means? I get it when I want to run the TOCA 2
Demo. I have a Monster 3D II Voodoo II accelerator and a Fire GL1000 Pro
video card.

Thanks for any help you can provide me,

You probably have an 8 MB V2 card and for a game to use 16-bit z-buffering you
need a 12 MB Voodoo card. A Voodoo Banshee (16 MB) will do the trick.

But I run the demo on a Voodoo1.  And the guy's problem is probably not due to
trying to run at too high a resolution.  I tried setting mine at 800x600 and
it just kicked it down to 640x480 due to lack of enough vid memory
(z-buffering at 800x600 requires at least 4MB of frmae buffer memory, or so
I've read).
