Well, this is what puzzles me.  I have a 12mb Voodoo 2 1000 pci (still
installed), & it runs every one of the games I mentioned with no slowdowns.
I know I'll have to upgrade the processor eventually, but I figured that a
high end 32mb card would allow me to run the same games at a higher
resolution until then.

So, if the ram & processor aren't the problem with a V21000, why should they
be with a GeForce for the same games?  And again, shouldn't the supplied
drivers work for at least one game?
