I now have a Voodoo 3 3000, which I'm thinking of upgrading to the new V5 5500. My system is a P III 500 with 128 megs of ram. Is it worth upgrading or will there not be much of a difference with the 500 MHz chip? Thanks for any advice. Marc

Will you "see" a difference? Yes and no....Older sims like N99, SCGT, GPL positively "shine" with FSAA. with N3 there is little difference because N3 already had software AA and with a P3 500 you should have been able to max that out. Just depends on what your gaming pleasure is now and what you plan on doing for the next 6 months to a year. dave henrie "Marc Goldstein" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:P0vd5.75347$[email hidden]... > I now have a Voodoo 3 3000, which I'm thinking of upgrading to the new V5 > 5500.

Thanks Dave. I guess I'm just not sure if I want to spend that much money yet. We'll see. Marc
