i own an voodoo3 and im having opengl problems. it seems that win2k has its own drivers for my videocard, and i when i play a game that runs opengl it says my videocard doesnt support it. ive tried DLin new drivers for my videocard but it still doesnt work. anyone know how to fix this problem? if you dont fully understand the problem let me know and i'll try to make it more clear to you guys. thx

I wasn't aware of that. I'm building a computer for my sister with Win2K and a Voodoo 3, and I was impressed that Win2K automatically installed the driver. However she's not a gamer, so I'll have to install a game (UT?) and check that out. I'll let you know what I find.

The V3's work great in W2K but the problem is that the driver that is automatically installed with W2K is only 2D. You need to DL the W2K drivers from 3dfx and install them. They work fine I have done this many times.
