Well, weird thing there. No change in hardware or driver. I've used Z's GW, but it does that crazy thing described above. I installed dgvoodoo for the first time at your suggest, but it did nothing. But when I uninstalled it, the annoying tiling terrain graphic is gone, it's all smoothed out...so it's weird, too, but in a better way. Still 640x480, just not all squarey on the ground.

But I'd like to have it more 3dfx-ey, like Z's GW, just minus the speed probs. I've got a twin 2400 MHz proc. Any suggestions for slowdown software? I know slowdown.exe doesn't touch it.

You'll have to play around with the settings to see how much to slow down your PC.

Make sure to have the '3DFX' mode selected in the lb2cfg.exe to make use of an installed glide wrapper. Also, make sure that the program .exe file and 'glide2x.dll' are in the LB2 directory.
