So you're saying I just slot in the Voodoo card in any available PCI slot & install the drivers? That's it? How do I make sure that the Voodoo card isn't used for my other games (which are all D3D based)?
This shouldn't be an issue.Most games will choose your primary video card to run graphics from and if it doesn't you will usually get some sort of option that will allow you to select which card you want to use.
In respect of Red Baron,it will use your TNT for Direct Draw and only the glide card if you select Glide in graphic preferences.
There is only one game I have had over the years that gave me a problem over which vidoe card to use as default,that was EAW and that was easily fixed by editing the .ini file.
If you do want to turn off the D3D HAL on your Voodoo card.There is a utility called Power Strip that'll do that for you.Find it at
