    Watch out though, 3DFX cards all have a 256x256 texture size limit.

    Yeah, if a game uses a texture larger then 256x256 pixels, the 3dfx cards will choke and die.

    3dfx was taken over by Nvidia I think so you're not going to get any updated drivers or bug fixes if you get this card, though I'd say it's better than the TNT card.

    I'd get yerself a cheap old GeForce card, even a geForce2 one runs quake etc without a problem & it's not too dear...

    Anna's dad bought a Radeon 9700 bundle, so we inherited his old Geforce3.
