These kind of comments grate on my nerves. First of all, let me state that I am an avid Linux user, and that according to me, there is no other [OS]... However, when will you (people with the same mentality as the author of the post i'm responding to) realize that competition *has* to exist? Competition results in better products. If `we' didn't have any goals, like being the underdog to upset MS, I doubt the development of Linux would have advanced at the rate that it did... The OS/Software might not be good, but the competition is invaluable.

The popular Voodoo 1 and 2 cards are 3DFX accelerators... meaning, they work in conjunction with regular video cards to do all the nifty 3D rendering and so on... what he said about using 2 Voodoo2's is called SLI (i forget what the anacronym stands for, maybe someone can inform), and that's where you basically use 2 3DFX accelerators that work together to do all the 3D rendering... This makes for quite a nice setup... However, the Voodoo3's are a 3DFX accelerator and a regular 2D video card all-in-one combo card. Personally, I'll stick with Voodoo2 for now for the opportunity to add another in SLI for 24 MB of video RAM goodness... There are other great/decent/good 3DFX accelerators/cards out there like NVidia's stuff, but I won't get into that since you just mentioned Voodoo's....
