I all.

I have a Canopus Pure 3D. It's just got the original Voodoo chipset and 6MB
RAM.

I have DirectX 6.1 installed on Windows 98, and have just run DXDIAG on my
system. All the tests run great.

I loade motoRacer 2 on my system, and in the display options it says I have
a "Pure3D DirectX 5" driver.

Where can I get DirectX 6 drivers. Does anyone know if the reference drivers
for the plain old Voodoo at the 3DFX web site are DirectX 6 or 6.1 drivers.
I like to run the latest stuff.

That being said Moto Racer 2 works great.

I just want to make sure everything is DirectX 6.x in case more games come
out. Otherwise I'll wait for the Voodoo III to hit our shores before I buy
again.

Thanks for any help in advance
