As for waiting for the "patch" for Dues Ex. It has been out almost as long as the game. It was the game engine at fault. Specifically the engine had "texture thrashing" problems. Eidos has a new dll to download. Also, most game that I have seen that run better on a Voodoo than anything else is usually because the game has been optimized for glide and not anything else. Hence, if you run a game, like Deus Ex, on a Voodoo, but put it in Direct 3D mode you will get the same crappy frame rates that everyone gets with their Direct 3D cards. So, this is an issue having more to do with the games than NVidia's drivers.
