Let me tell you something right now.

My Voodoo2 SLI runs Wheel of Time at 640x480 in Glide, FASTER than my
Geforce2-GTS does in Direct 3D.  Even if I kick the GTS resolution
down to 320x240, THE V2's are STILL faster.  Got a clue yet?  Glide
rules.  The V2's would even be faster than an Ultra at 640x480 in
Glide games.  And with a GLIDE WRAPPER? cough.. cough.....
