Easy :

For the best allrounder, in my Opinion the AmigaSport V3.0 Driver is the best choice.

For the latest in Direct3D Support, the SFFT Alpha 32 Driver is the best choice.

Nope, that Driver should hold all you need (Driver, 3dfx Tools, OpenGL & MesaFX option)

well,I think you should get rid of the glide2x to glide3x translator dll,and maybe glidexp as well.you can do it easily by unpacking this archive to your windows/system32 folder,right after you install the driver (as described here).apart from that,I must agree with Falconfly,amigasport is probably the best all around xp driver (SFFT is very good,but it still has some problems,with final fantasy 7 for example)..

thx for your help,i installed the driver ok but got a message when installing that said something about it may cause problems with your system now or in the future,has anyone seen that before?

Yes, it's some stupid Microsoft thing.

Nowadays drivers have to be WHQL certified.
Off course, these being third-party drivers, there simply is no funding to get them WHQL certified. So, you get a message. Just click continue and the drivers will work just fine.
