How about getting a new PC!!

 

Seriously those cards are both so old you will have constant problems with drivers and hardware.

 

Get a cheap PC that comes with Windows XP?

A while ago I ran a voodoo1 on windowsXP. I managed to play some quake3, it had a lot of graphical errors in the menus but the game itself was ok.

 

It depends what you will play with this computer. I replaced my voodoo1 with a voodoo3 and short after that with a geforceMX 200.

 

If you're gonig to try it http://www.ntcompatible.com/download.php?id=1

You can find some drivers here.

 

Good Luck, you'll need it. wink

This is because Quake3 is uses OpenGL. It is worth noting that the hacked Voodoo 2 drivers for Windows 2000 DO support OpenGL but do NOT support Direct 3D which is what the majority of modern games support.

If you wish to run games using that hardware you will need to stick with Windows 98 or ME, but I would hardly recommend the latter.

OK and Thank you for your help.

I decide to buy a new Video Card.

My choice is Laedtek Winfast A170 T 64Mo DDR.

I hope I have no problem with this board.

 

Best Regards
