How much did you pay for the card? I don't know that it's HALF the
price of a TNT2 when TNT2 in 32MB can be had for around $350 and I was
sure the Savage4 was around $280.......and you can buy a Voodoo3-2000
for that price, and overclock it up to 166Mhz and have lightning fast
games in all resolutions.
FWIW, I run SCGT with my TNT and Voodoo2 at 800x600 with no worries,
I'm not sure why you had to run 640x480.
12MB Voodoo2
