In my quest for better framerates in gpl
I am deciding between the STB Voodoo2 (PCI)
and Herc. Thriller 3D on my now low-end system.
I am currently running an AMD K6-233 with 64M ram
and a Voodoo1 card. With no other cars on the track
and mirror details off I generally get about 25-30 fps.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

My first advice would be a processor upgrade, preferable to
something with a 100 or so MHz bus speed. Yeah, costs money, I
know... :)
For just a video card for that system, I'd say the Thriller would
give you better FPS than the Voodoo2. Also, you might look at a
Voodoo3...

is also great for high end cards. Rendition rules
For that system I would go with the Herc card.

Great Advice,
I bought and installed one over the weekend
(along with a TM nascar pro wheel)
and it runs very well, I get about 34-36 FPS
at 800x600 with the detail slider to 75% of max,
and nearly all options on.
Thanks
