I want to upgrade my PCI S3 Trio / 4Mb Voodoo 1 with either a
TNT card (Hercules Dynamite) or a V2(if V2 I'll keep the S3) 
and I'm wondering what would be the best option. I've just put
together a Celeron 300a/BH6 @ 450 system and now I need
the graphics to go with it.

>From what I understand the TNT is a little faster than the V2
but I'm worried that it might give me trouble with some games,
especially GL Quakeworld....my current playlist being Quakeworld,
Quake 2, Half Life.

Can anyone offer advice as to which card I should go for? thanks
