Same here and the age of a game as nothing to do with it's playability.I
still get loads of enjoyment out of my 2 VooDoo 2s as I do out of my MX
card and some glide games still rock and look good to me.I also Still
play GLQW online and would never be without the V2s for this as open GL
is ok but Glide still looks better for this game IMHO.so much so that I
keep a spare CL 12 meg just in case one of my main ones goes down and
NO!.You can't have it Ben<grin>.
PS
On this Tbird I get 140 fps in timedemo 1 in QW and can hit over 300
online in timerefresh with my suped up config |-)
PPS
Why chuck away a good card/s if you have a free slot and it can do an
API you may want to use that the newer card can't?
