Machine: G4/800/VPC3 & VOODOO CARD (!!!)
Yes I know. But: Until now I heard of nobody using an older VPC (2, 3) with the direct graphiccard support. Which means direct driver access for the voodoo2, 3 (and other?) cards.
Anyone tried any 3d game WITH a voodoo card directly unter VPC3?
I want to try that when I got a cheap voodoo card (which?) from ebay.
Suggestions???

I was never able to get VPC 3 stable on my G4 867. It kept on blue screening in Win95, so I never got around to getting HL up and running in VPC with a fast machine. I use to play it with a G4 400 w/ VPC 3/Win95 and it worked. It was a little slow, but it worked.

That is the main point here!

I've done it with a G4 550 and a Voodoo 2. Don't even bother, it's unplayable.

VPC2 and 3 had native voodoo support. Connectix removed that with v.4 because people were constantly bitching not to be able to play 3D PC games at full speed.
