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..... On Mon, 05 Feb 2001 07:53:13 GMT, Sam <sonofrage@my-deja.com> enlightened us by scribbling this gem of wisdom: >God, what an idiot.
