Early Voodoos were, but the AGP card is a stand alone, works well and is
getting cheap !!!
Haven't had cable modem long enough to tell about on-line races, but so
far performance is FAST.
Take care,
EE

The voodoo3 runs GPL very well

Minimum 64MB PC100 SDRAM. More is better, of course.
If you want to run GPL, buy a 3dfx card. Or a Rendition based card,
but that won't do too much for Quake, I believe. Since you seem not to
have an unlimited budget (just like me), I would suggest a Banshee
card. There are better cards, of course (TNT (2), Voodoo3, etc. come
to mind), but they either aren't fully compatible with GPL, and/or
much more expensive. You could also keep your ATI and add a Voodoo2
card, though.
Michael Carver, to the rescue! :) I have no idea.
Very, very good GP2 performance. It runs already very beautifully on
my iP166MMx o/c to 250 MHz (barring sand pit excursions, of course),
and your system will be considerably faster. Good to very good GPL
performance can be expected.

% Michael Carver, to the rescue! :) I have no idea.
There are so many to choose from now days. I pretty sure that most
Force Feedback wheels have the ability to have split axis for the pedals
(though some may require a driver update). But then there is no Force
Feedback in GPL (well I understand the code is there it just is turned
off and is probably not fully implemented in the code).
In the Thrustmaster line, I would recommend the Super Sport for
precision or the NASCAR/Formula Pro if you just gotta have a stick
shift. http://www.thrustmaster.com
Thomas Enterprises has some units with split axis on pedals (but then
you may have a long wait to get a unit built and shipped).

I have GP1 and I have modified it to have split axis gas and brake. If you
like your GP1 I would suggest you to keep it and modify the wiring. I really
cant drive with pedals, I need paddles for braking and gas :-)

How do I modify the wiring?

Another question:
Is there any advantage for gamers to have a dual processor computer?
I would think the answer is yes but I don't jump to conclusions.
>I am currently deciding on:

No idea, Probably a Voodoo3 or Voodoo2 (budget now)
FF or not?
FF: Logitech
NonFF: the TSW (or so) gets excellent reviews
GPL: :-))))
GP2: no idea

You will find no x2 drive on the market.
I guess the lowest speed is about x24 in the moment.
But carefully, the low cost products usually only have a
high-speed-name and not the appropriate performance.
To the "needed" speed: It's not essential, but very annoying to have a
slow cd-rom in cd-based programs.
GPL is the only Sim I know and use, which is fully running from HD.
