Is it worth buying the 3000 versus the 2000 and why ?
Also, should I be aware of driver problems encountered by some has I've seen
a few posts about them but did not pay much attention to. Should I download
drivers from somewhere ?
Thanks in advance.

You can use the newest drivers 2.56 dated 5/12 from 3 dfx. Also limit texture to
2 mb and it will run fine.

Robert good choice, I upgraded from the same setup 3 weeks ago.
Cannot tell you about upgrading from a voodoo2, but upgrading from
Voodoo 1 is worthwhile definitely.
I use the CD-drivers (texture limited to 2MB for GPL). The banshee-fix
gives me problems in GPL (Pic-size) and the 3DFX-update (quake) forces
stutter in MGPRS2

If you want to race GPL, the best choice is any V3 (the 2000 will do fine).
Don't be fooled by the specs suggesting another card may be better or have
more features..
GPL only has decent support for GLIDE and Rendition cards, The V3 is the
fastest GLIDE card. This is the case with nearly every other sim/game out
there and the V3-2000 is great value for money. But of course, if you want to
have the
"best-in-theory-but-isn't-supported-and-therefore-I-have-loads-of-problems-
other-people-to-help-me-out"-card then you should avoid the V3 ;o)
Um....yes, a Voodoo3 (if you have the CPU for it) probably is the best card
for GPL. However, there ARE (no fooling) cards with better specs, and more
and better features.
Um, what?! V3 is not the fastest card for every other sim/game out there.
:? For those with GLIDE only 3D hardware acceleration, yes. Those with D3D
or OpenGL support in addition or only, hell no.
"best-in-theory-but-isn't-supported-and-therefore-I-have-loads-of-problems-
Mms...there are problems with the V3 that have to have worked
nd-ask
around...nothing is prefect. :?
