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. -Andrew

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.
It does. No problems on my machine with a V5. "John Smith" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Xao17.42938$[email hidden]...
