Wow, what a pointless thread. Why are we dwelling on the past? If I had bought a lottery ticket with the right numbers last week, I'd be a millionaire, I'm not.

3dfx has gone, but hever forgotten ;)

but thanks to fans and drivers' authors who are still making & supporting drivers for the voodoo family (have a look at: www.3dfxzone.it )

PS: go voodoo go!
