Is this driver theory correct?
26.11.03 at 15:11:46  
Am I to believe that the FastVoodoo2 drivers are for the Voodoo2, and the AmigaMerlin drivers are for my (soon to be purchased) Voodoo5 5500 ??  ???

Am I onto a winner here by any chance? Tongue

Also, are these the best drivers to be using?

I really don't know as I haven't used the cards in a few years.  There are so many flying around, but these 2 names have come up on the list more than others.

I am using WinXP, so am I using the best stuff here?

Answers on a post card please!

Yup, your research is correct: -

FastVoodoo2 - For V2 cards... Smiley

Amigamerlin 3.0 - for Voodoo 4500, 5500 and 6000... Smiley

They are usually the best drivers to use, I swear by them myself! Grin

Although your milage may vary with Amigamerlin 3.0 and some of the newer games out there (some people have had 'glitches'). Roll Eyes

Seem to work fine for me though! Tongue

Fastvoodoo2 drivers really kick A$$! Wink

'Nuff said! 8)

So if the "mileage" is too much, what do you suggest??

This WickedGL thingy (that I know nothing about)?

Err...like you said, you "don't know" about Wicked GL... Tongue

So here goes! Grin

It's basically an OpenGL 'miniport' replacement for Quake style games (and other Open GL games too) that was made by Wicked Systems (it's not being worked on anymore now though!) Wink

However, this only replaces the Open GL miniport files to improve performance in OpenGL games... Roll Eyes

You'll still need a 'proper' set of drivers... Wink

Best advice is: - go with what you KNOW is good first, if that doesn't work, then try something else! Tongue

There are LOTS of drivers to choose from in the 3Dfx archive, so take yer' pick! Cheesy

Good luck! 8)

There are some compatibility hints for games over on www.voodooalert.de
Its in german, but with some help of an online translator it should be ok...
