I've been using a Voodoo5 videocard on my system, and have been quite happy with it. Although I've been tempted to perhaps get a GeForce or Radeon to replace it, I've stuck with the Voodoo5 because of the George Smiley patch which provides a large, centered rearview mirror in GPL. ( I gotta have a good view of those cars coming up behind as I'm being lapped! LOL ) My question is whether any other card has the capability of having that large, centered rearview mirror in GPL? If so, which one, and where would I find the patch for it? If this is now a common capability (if so, I've missed hearing about it) which card would you recommend? (I'm most interested in GPL, N4 and F1 2001). My system is an Athlon XP 1700+ with 512 Megs RAM, and SBLive Value card. Again, I'm only interested in switching videocards as long as I can still have that rearview mirror in GPL. Thanks! Bert

It's for Glide, so only Voodoo owners can apply. -- Peter H Voodoo 5 also GPL sucks ... you in "BRH @attbroadband.com>" <"bertrh<no-spam> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I've been using a Voodoo5 videocard on my system, and have been quite > happy with it.
