yeh i got the same problem with the voodoo and a 200 pro with 64 ram.
setting up the refresh to even 70 mhz gives me no Quake i can use. 
but isn't it the monitor thats responsible? maybe if i get a better
screen it'll setup? there's a warning in windows that a refresh thats
too high can damage your monitor. does anyone know any more on this?
