Today i gather all my old system parts, i add some more (HD, DVD), and I make a full computer. I decide to install on it W2K Pro Greek.

After i restart the system my V3 was allready installed with some 3dfx interactive drivers. The funny is that I can choose not only 16bit color but 24bit and 32bit!!!! One year with this card and i couldn't make it work with greater colors that 16bit on my Win98!

Because i move this PC on my job's office i will try at Friday when i go back to see if that works and with games such as Unreal Tournamert.

If anyone knows something about that please inform me :)

Voodoo 3 drivers are resident in Win2K. Got the same thing when I built a computer for my sister.

You still will need to dl and install V3 drivers because the built in ones are 2D only. The real drivers will add support for open gl, glide, and d3d.

you mean 32 bit in desktop right? I had 32 desktop on my v3 in win98SE, I'm 99% sure of that. I don't think it has ever supported 32 in games though.
I loved that card...rock solid...but unfortunately time caught up with it :(

The 32 bit is for 2D (desktop)

For 3D (gameing) V3's are 16 bit
