Hello All,

I have ugraded my K6-200 for a K6-3D-300 mhz. I am wondering which
graphics card(s) to install:
- a second-hand ATI Xpert@Work and a second-hand 3dFx Voodoo I, both on
PCI;
- a second-hand ATI Xpert@Work and a new Voodoo II, both on PCI;
- a Banshee (from 3dfx, both 2D and 3D, right?) PCI;
- a Banshee on AGP (I haven't seen any yet);
- a Riva TNT on AGP;
- a Riva TNT and second-hand Voodoo I for 3dfx compatiblity with some of
my old dos games.
Any other suggestion is welcome.

I am wondering if in a Win 95 + Direct X environment, the Voodoo 1 is
useful in combination with the ATI Xpert.

Please reply by mail as I will not be able to read news for a few days.

Thanks

Pascal Hermans

Greetings,

I did a lot of research before I purchased my card. I have pretty much the
same setup as you... K6II-300 3dNow, 64megs SDRAM, Win 98.

I went with the TNT card.. 16 meg AGP... Mainly because I do not have any
games that need to support Glide and the ones coming out now and the
(recent) future will support D3D and OpenGL... Its a great card.. I am
glad I bought it.

Foresaken is excellent on it.

I also bought a SB Live which helps.
