Hey guys, I have a Diamond Monster 3D, and I have been getting
conflicting messages regarding which drivers to use.  Some have told me
to use the 3dfx reference Voodoo drivers, but 3dfx's web site themselves
tell me to use the Diamond drivers.  Which one should I use?  Or is it a
question of performance versus compatibility?  What are the advantages
or disadvantages of each?  Thanks.
