That's strange.  Using an ATI All In Wonder Pro (4MB) as my primary video
cards.  GF looks great on it.  Then, switched over to my 12MB Voodoo2 (using
the "generic" referenc drivers from 3DFX for DirectX6) and looks even
better.

Make sure that it's not trying to use the ATI 3D chip instead of the Voodoo.
Might need a program (say 3D Control Center) to make sure the 3DFX is the
active card.  Didn't have problems with the ATI in GF, but in say  Lands of
Lore, using the ATI chip looked like crap.  (Lot's of "black boxes" when it
runs out of texture memory, etc.)
