I find that CA's voodoo 3 drivers work well in Win Xp for my bros Voodoo 3 3000. Im guessing you went to voodoofiles.com for your drivers right? What games dont work? and what else doesnt work?

I would also look at voodoofiles.com
My old comp runs with drivers from that page, it´s a voodoo3 2000 Apg. But like i said, try it out. And if you cant get it to work then you are more then welcome to post back.

Good luck!

the drivers that I have linked to HERE, I use with several of my voodoo cards, including a voodoo 3 3000, they have worked flawlessly. I never had a problem with any game yet.

No problem, Glad I could help...

It took me forever to find working drivers, I've installed almost every one that is out there, so i know how it feels, and seeing that the voodo line of cards can STILL hold their own, might as well keep them alive. ( all mine can play UT2003...the v5 5500's can play with everything maxed and still run great @ 1024x768! Just have to diable "projectors" in the ut2003 settings, the v3 3000 can play it fine as well, just have to lower a few more settings, actually, set everything to "normal" @ 800x600 )

As far as people saying the voodoo cards don't run anything that is new well enough, I can prove that wrong.

Of course, they don't come close to my Radeon... but they do still work. 3DFx was definetely ahead of their time.
