I just got the Diamond Voodoo2 wth 12mb of ram and it COOKS. The first
time you play with 3dfx2 accelleration it sorta takes your breath
away. Card installed in about 5 min and Win 98 detected it and let me
install the drivers from the cd rom without a hitch. I have played
both unreal and Quake 2 and both are incredible on the card. (you need
to download a patch on unreal to get the 3dfx drivers to work. The
patch is on their site).  Quake 2 on the net with this card is
unbeatable, much easier to size up your opponent and the graphics just
have to be seen to be believed.  A very worthwhile upgrade.
