Thought I'd let everyone know that GPL appears to work well with Windows XP
RC1.  Unfortunately there will be no 3Dfx support for XP, so my Voodoo 3 is
rather worthless.  To play with a Voodoo you'll need to use the D3D
rasterizer, but at least it works.  The other downside... the PDPI isn't
supported.  No surprise there, but it's not a piece of hardware I want to
give up.

Thanks.  I sent them to a friend, he'll install anything.  My system's
working fairly well and when Windows is running fairly well I hate to touch
it.

Supposedly the Win2000 driver works just fine.

It does.  No problems on my machine with a V5.

Works great here with ATI Radeon (XP drivers)... to prove so I set a PB at
Monza this AM in WinXP!
