Well first things first.  DON'T BUY A COMPAQ!!!!  Believe me I am a
Computer Tech for Best Buy and have to deal with them on a regular basis
and can tell you that they are THE absolute worst machines ever to hit
the retail shelves.  If you are a real "3D game fanatic" you will get
something "non-proprietary" e.i. one without wierd parts in it.  Every
retail computer has a few wierd things about them but Compaq it the
absolute worst!  I don't even consider it a computer.  And as for the
Voodoo 2, GET ONE! Nothing you can get in a 2d/3d card or a onboard card
can compare to it.
