I just added the Voodoo 2 ( no overclocking ) and I am getting 32.8 FPS at
800x600, particles on( no tweaking ). Before I added the Voodoo, I was
getting 8 FPS( No 3d card ) So I would have to say I got a 4x improvement!!
I guess it all depends on where you start at.
My system is:
Pentium 233mmx
96 megs ram
Matrox Millenium II 4 meg
Monster 3DII 12 meg!!
