I'm glad someone cleared that up, I was reading through the thread and saying,
"Hmmm... I must really be missing something here... Since when did The #9 switch
from its Ticket to Ride to the RIVA? Not that it would be a bad thing... :)

BTW, the RIVA chipset was built around D3D, so its performance in D3D is better
than the Voodoo, at least on a PII.

I think there's really something wrong with me... I know all this stuff on 3D
cards, but I own nothing but a Stealth 2000 Pro... eew, Virge. :)  It's called "I
need mo money" (I just recently regged Qoole)  Any tips on where to get bargain
3dfx, like auctions and stuff? Thanx.

Also, I hope to get off my lazy arse and make some tutorials for the Academy once
I get regged Qoole. Who do I contact when I'm ready to do a tutorial/class?
