Using a Voodoo2 with any of the high end cards of >today is like having a little kid with a slingshot ride on top of a >tank. Last time I made this argument someone made the same point about >old glide games but there's no way you're gonna tell me that a V2 will >run a game faster that a gf2 ultra with a glide wrapper. I've used glide >wrappers in the past (for UltraHLE on my girlfriends ati xpert128) and >it didnt run much slower on an ati xpert128 so you cant tell me it wont >be perfect on a gf2 ultra. > remove the "NOSPAM" in my email address to email me via usenet reply...
