I have a Cretive Voodoo2 w/8 mb memory.

What drivers is the best to use? the Genuine Creative drivers that are
rather outdated to say the least, or the reference drivers available from
3dfx.com? Currently I use the creative drivers for that simple reason they
let me set the refreshrate to 85 mhz :)

Also... Don't you think it's time to update the drivers? the Creative
drivers are made for Dx6. Dx7 has long been on the market with dx8 just
around the corner.....

Where have you been?  3dfx cut off supplying driver support to thier vendors
when they merged with STB over a year ago.  Companies like Creative,
Diamond, IOmagic, etc. have been left out in the cold and stuck with this
driver version ever since.

Not big deal, since it so happens this is the best iteration of these
drivers that 3dfx ever put out anyway.  Stick with the Creative ones.  Even
3dfx tech support recommends them from time to time (and not just for
Creative cards).
