Most likely. I did have Duke 3D running OK in the Mac port... but do I have to get a G5 to get some life out of it? The DOS D 3d on my old P166 absolutely 'kicks ass'. Actually, D 3d played on the 100MHz DOS card in the G3 plays really great, maybe 3 to 4 times more responsive than on the G3. That's how it 'feels' to me anyhow. >> So Duke plays on VPC3 and DOS?

I get the feeling old PCI vid cards for Macs are rare, tho'.
