Hi NG

I have just bought two secondhand voodoo2's (Creative labs) with SLI.  I
realise I can use some of the newer games via direct 3d but would like some
native voodoo games.

  Where is the best place in the UK to buy these?

Any help would be appreciated.

A lot of games support native Glide mode. Quake3 has its own Voodoo OpenGL
driver
and you can also play Need for Speed Porche 2000 in Glide mode if you use a
secret
hack to get it to detect the SLI config.

There isn't really a place to get only 3dfx card intended games. It's really
(in regard to
the old titles) looking on the box to see if it says Voodoo Glide supported
etc.

To fully use your SLI config make sure you have a fast processor or else
you'll just
witness slow FPS at lots of thumb twidling why your CPU works its back side
off
to feed the cards with new data to be procesed.

I will have a P3 800 in here in the next few days, I will tell you what gain
in speed
I got using my SLI config (Orchid 12MB cards) here from what I now get on
my P2 450.

Hope that helps.

Adam
