Voodoo 3 3000 AGP & NFS 2 SE ?
11.08.05 at 22:09:57
 
Hi guys. I just bought a voodoo 3 3000 AGP 16mb. I don't know much a bout this card.

Basically I'd like to know if it will run Need for Speed 2 SE in 3DFX mode. I saw on this italian 3dfx site that someone there said they ran nfs2 se w/voodoo 3, but didn't say if it was 3dfx or software.

Also I don't know what the best drivers to use with this (for old pc games)? Any recomendations? I'll be using it for old games like Syndicate War, NFS 2 SE/NFS3/NFS: HS/NFS: Porsche Unleased/maybe Anachronox/FF7.

I'm building an old system because of VESA support (?voodoo 3 supports it I hope?), windows 9x DOS(xp or 2K can't do dos), the 3DFX mode high quality in NFS 2 SE I hope for, and old aplications.

I can install NFS 2 SE on XP and play it with Windows Compatability Tool kit, but you can't use the wrappers in xp, only software mode is playable.

The system I bought + parts specs are this:
450Mhz CPU
Elitegroup Computer Systems motherboard P6BX-A+ based on Intel 440BX
Tower Case
64mb Sdram -will add 128mb pc100 when I receive/know if it's ECC or pc66, etc.
Voodoo 3 3000 16mb APG
(I might stick in my voodoo 1 Diamond Monster 3d 4mb pci
ISA Eithernet card
ISA Soundcard
60gig hard drive Western Digital WD600BB (I know I have to dl the 40gig+ patch from <www.ecs.com.tw>;
Windows 95 upgraded to Windows 98

If anyone can help me get started with tips/ answers about NFS2 SE in 3DFX on Voodoo 3 3k AGP, what drivers to use, I'd be very greatful.

The other voodoo forum sites doesn't seem to get much action like nobody posted anything in the last 6 months. I remember FalconFly from the Voodoo files board (he was very helpful with my voodoo 1 diamond monster info), and I recame across his site, which here it seems to be alive.
I hope someone will please help this voodoo noob.

BTW I am sorry if this is in the wrong board, didn't know exactly where to put it, as it involes a few topics/games/drivers/discussion.

Kuze - For the Citizens part, they don't even recognize the massive explotation inherited in the system. They absorb only the information that appeals to them that's easy to accept. Theirs is a phony society, I want to open their eyes to that fact.

If you plan to play the good old Classic Games, I'd recommend the default Win9x 3dfx V1.07.00 Reference Driver.

That should be the best start and does not need any tinkering especially for these types of Games Smiley

And yes, the Voodoo3 is fully VESA VBE 3.0 compilant.

FalconFly, thank you soooo much for answering me. You've got a heart of gold. You helped me on the voodoofile forum too. My name there was lucidtomr too I think, or macapa... can't remember exactly. I'll be getting my system in a few days, so I'll let cha know how things go down. Thanx again man  Smiley
