I have a voodoo 3000 card,
the requirements for GP4 state a directX 8.1 supporting card
I think the card does not support 8.1...so...

if I get GP4 will I get it to work, but missing a few features
or will it just not run at all.

thanks for any info anyone might be able to provide

 From the readme:

Interesting reaction
but what does it mean?

(snip snip)
   There are drivers available that support dx8.1 BUT, the real problem with
V3's is the small onboard memory.    I don't know what GP4 needs, but many
titles today, like F1 2001 & 2 need at least 32 megs of video memory.  64 is
even better.  So I would 'guess' since it's Geoff Crammond, it will run on a
16meg board, but how well it will run...???
  Make sure IF you buy it, that you get it from a store with good return
policies.
  Hopefully somebody else will chip in with direct experience.
