The V3 would have been AWESOME if it had kept to the 3dfx tradition of
doubling the power of what was already possible...e.g., V1 to V2=100%
increase, V2-V2 SLI = almost 100% (if your CPU was powerful enough)..
if the V3 had come out with a 667 mpixel/sec fillrate (double that of
V2 SLI), it would have OWNED, and people wouldnt have been bitching at
the lack of 32 bit color, because fillrate would have been king.  And
then V5...with a GTSU's fillrate (released on time)....oh man....

enlightened us by scribbling this gem of wisdom:

>I actually want a Voodoo2 myself to work alongside my MX.  I still have some
>old games that work only (and best) with Glide.  It might be old but like
>everyone here, I do agree that they're the best thing to ever come out of
>3dfx.  Let's face it Glide wrappers don't work as well as Glide itself.
>It's what it is, a wrapper that adds another layer of code when processing
>games, which could eventually lead to slower performance on some machines.
