hi guys, i got my hands on a FREE Vodoo 3 vidcard last night and i was wondering if it was worth installing it on my system. i have an AMD Duron with 700Mghz procesor, 20 Gig HD and not exacly sure the ram.... my CFS2 screenies are ok but my FS2002 are not do fine, i get edges and stuff, the usual on a not-out-of- the-box system.....

so, is it worth installin?

Depends, if you've got anything better than a Geforce2 MX installed, forget the Voodoo3!

I upgraded from a Voodoo3 to a GF2 MX years back, and then, the GF2 seemed soooo fast!

If I put the same - GF2 MX - card in my pIII 667 machine ,(Which currently houses my old GF4 MX440,which itself replaced the GF2 MX) Fs2002 is reduced to a very stuttery experience. Thus, I would'nt expect great things from the Voodoo3.
It should cope with conservative ,i.e. low, settings, but I would'nt expect too much.

I think, thinking of a strange way to destroy the Voodoo will ultimately prove more fun!

well i dunno what i have, as far as i know it is the incorporated card (came with the mammaboard) so yeah, i sure wanna get one of those fancy GeForce's or radeons or nVidia's but im still livin @ home and my folks wont spare that much money on something they see as "unnsesesary"
