I still see Voodoo3 and Voodoo 5 cards for sale and they do have some awesome game performance with the Glide libraries, but if you have a commercial distro of Mandrake witrh an NVidia card, you have the problem with drivers 99% licked--here is the other 1% http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/81errata.php3#nvidia And no, we won't put NVidia Drivers on the downloadable disks because it isn't free (as in speech) software. Netscape is about the only sin we have left on those disks, and its day is coming for removal, soon as we have a functional free alternative. Civileme
