I have a AMD K6-II 350 with 64 MB of ram. A 4 MB AGP video card. I would like to add a Voodoo 3000 video card. My question is would my machine be able to handle it? And I'm sure that with the Voodoo 3 installed I would see quite a bit of difference than the video card I'm using now, right? I'm also thinking of adding 64 MB of ram, would that help? Any and all suggestions welcome. Thanks

I know someone with a P166 and 32 meg of ram who put in a VooDoo 3000 PCI and saw major improvement. I'm sure the card is not being used to its full advantage, but it was a big improvement nonetheless. My daughter has a VooDoo3/2000 PCI in a PII/266 and it works great. Yes. More RAM is always good. I have 256M in my computer, my 2 1/2 year old kid has 128M in her computer and my wife has 64M in hers. More is better. ~daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

Any and all suggestions welcome. Thanks I don't see why it WOULDN'T. It worked fine on *my* K6-II 350. Now all I have to do is install the K6-III 400 chip that I bought...<g> Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Own Grand Prix Legends? Goto http://gpl.gamestats.com/vroc Never argue with an idiot.

I had a K6-2/350 64 MB of SDRAM and a Voodoo3 3000 AGP, and it ran just fine. GPL ran with 36fps at 800x600 online without any problems. Joel Willsein

With what graphics options de-selected? I have the same processor and video, 128K memory(pc100) and can't always get 36fps in *640x480*... Something's wrong here... :-( Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Own Grand Prix Legends? Goto http://gpl.gamestats.com/vroc Never argue with an idiot.
