The latest Voodoo3 Drivers are the V1.07.00 and V1.07.00beta...

Otherwise, you could as well try 3rd party Drivers (AmigaMerlin, x3dfx, NuDriver or TDHQ)

HELLO AGAIN TRIED TO RUN THE GAME GOES TO THE FIRST SCREEN AND GET A POP UP THAT YOU CANNOT RUN THIS GAME ON THIS COMPUTER, NO DIRECTX8.1 VIDEO ADAPTERS PLEASE CONTACT VIDEO CARD VENDER FOR UPDATED DRIVERS. I'VE BEEN TO A FEW SITE'S AND TRIED TO DOWN LOAD VERSIONS THAT ARE NEWER, NO LUCK, I WOULD LIKE TO PLAY THE GAME, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE I WILL HAVE TO BUY A NEW CARD TO DO THIS.

THANKS

TEDDY

TEDDY

THANKS AGAIN

TP

THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP ON THIS DO YOU HAVE A SUGGESTION ON WHAT CARD TO BUY, AND IN HAS TO STAY IN THE PEN III 500 128 RAM TYPE OF CARD, RIGHT??


TEDDY

Hmm...

New Cards, that would suit the Performance of a P3 500...

In my Mind, that could be :

PoverVR Kyro II 64MB AGP
(but remember this Card is facing the same non-T&L Restrictions like the 3dfx Cards, so it will probably help you out only for a short time ::) )

ATI Radeon 8500LE 64MB AGP
(maybe even a bit overpowered for a P3 500, but it should be extremely cheap, and with 250/250MHz, a quantum leap from a Voodoo3. Both in Performance, and compatibility).

Actually the R8500 or R8500LE series is something I will have a look into, when the time comes to replace my remaining Voodoo3/Voodoo4 Cards in the secondary Systems.

here is the last best fix for you try the  nuangel drivers
for your voodoo 3 it is probably the best fix your going to try.this is the most stable driver to try for the voodoo5 give it a try what do you hgave to loose besides time.

THANKS I THINK I WILL GET THE ATI CARD, ANY THING ELSE YOU THINK I WILL NEED FOR THIS FIX??? I'VE REPLACED THIS CARD ONCE UNDER WARRANTY SO CHANGING IT OUT SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM.




BALLGAME :D

HELLO CHECKED OUT A FEW CARDS ON THE NET HOW ABOUT THIS ONE ATI RADEON 9000 PRO 64MR DDR, MODEL 100-433001 WOULD THIS ONE WORK WITH MY SYSTEM??



TEDDY

Sure...

It is as well 'overpowered' for a P3 500, but it will allow you to play anything you like...

And it will do so even better, when upgrading your CPU, and adding some RAM ;)
(that will without doubt become your next bottleneck)

Concerning a System upgrade, a used AMD Athlon(XP) or Duron will be the best (and cheapest) Upgrade, if possible (this needs an ATX Case).

Investing in a new Slot1 CPU, or a similar via Adapter will be likely very costly, and offer a poor price/performance ratio (unless you're lucky and can make a good deal on it)...

:o :o :o :o :o :o WOW GUY'S I JUST WANT TO PLAY THE GAME, NOT REBUILD MY COMPUTER, DOESN'T SOUND TO GOOD ON MY END TO DO THIS,I'D BE BETTER OFF BUYING A NEW ONE, THAN TRYING TO UPDATE THIS ONE :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'


TEDDY

AGAIN THANKS FOR YOU HELP.
THIS IS A GREAT SITE FOR HELP.
