what kind of framerates do you get ?  (D3D is annoying me - thinking
of buying a V2 card for Glide)

Maybe he needs glide for other games as well. So long as I fly RB2 I'll
still need glide, for just one example.  A V2 alongside a gforce might be a
good solution for that.

To answer the original question, I had a V2 in a P2 333 which would give a
constant 36fps at 800 X 600 with about half detail and 19 AI, dropping to
mid 20's at the start. I think the slowdown was due to the CPU more than the
V2.
Don't expect to be able to run the V2 at anywhere near the resolutions you
can achieve with a GEForce2 and the D3D patch though, I think the max was
1024.

To explain the confusion that I seem to have caused - I have a geforce
2MX, having previously owned a V3 2000 in the past. However now, I am
p____d off with wrong-coloured flags plus the distortion of trees and
barriers that occurs with the D3D patch (otherwise of course it is
very good). V2s too are very cheap in the Uk now.

To be more precise - how scaleable is the V2 with a fast CPU such as
mine ? Any chance of 36fps at 1024x768 (my monitor won't go higher)?

Ian, yes you will get 36fps pretty much all the time at 800 x 600 in Glide.
To run 1024 x 768 in Glide with the V2 you need 2 Voodoo2's in SLI mode.
