Does 2k hate 3dfx cards like XP does?

[MoPMatrix]

I know the drives that come with XP for the v5 are no good and u can get 3rd party drivers for it and stuff,,,
But I was just wondering,,, is 2kpro the same way or r they ok?
Gettin a new HD soon,, wasnt guna go XP, it dont like my v5 and a lil boaty for gamin...
If 2k has good drives for the 3dfx cards I was guna use that, or stick with 98se...

win 2k will support the voodoo 5 but you'll need drivers, do a google search for them, i ran a voodoo 3 agp for quite a while on 2k, XP however you cannot use ANY voodoo cards, because of the voltage, so if your going to go XP you have to get a new video card.

I got a Voodoo 3 in a Win XP box working great for a couple of months now. No problems. 791 3dmark 2001 points with the AMD K6-2 500. hurting

I'm sorry I'm retarded I was thinking about pentium 4 machines and voodoo cards, not XP, my mistakte. Yes you can run voodoo's in xp with drivers that someone made (available on the net) they arent by3dfx but they work, voodoo3 worked in my machine w/custom xp drivers, until i stepped up to the world of geforce

Even the Win XP drivers work fine.

im running a 3500 in a win2k box, never had much problems with it. Although its never really used.

for 2k drivers go to voodoofiles.com. i reccomend askii64 and chriszilla's 2k drivers. they seem to be the best ones.

win2k voodoo drivers

actually 2k is recomended over xp for compatibility with the voodoo`s 3DFX managed to make drivers for 2k before they went under (thats right original drivers)which I found work better than 3rd party, but win2k is not exactly what you would call a gamming system.

for me i get better performance using xp than 2k. not by alot, but still noticeable.

I think that becase xp is more for gaming than 2k. with the right drivers you should se a jump in preformance.
