I am impressed by the result of my V2 SLI when playing this game~~
very smooth and with high details(1024X768), better than my Celeron 450 + 256MB PC100 SDRAM + Onboard or R7000VE PCI (can only play at 800X600 mid detail, otherwise lag~~)
actually the performance can compared with my uncle's Celeron 700 + GeForce 2 MX 400 + 128MB PC100 SDRAM
I am using :
K6-2 400
128MB 70ns EDORAM
S3Trio 64V2/DX
V2 SLI
I wonder what kind of engine does this game uses (DirectX? OpenGL? or even Glide? i dunno)
it's a good experience for a first time user who have voodoo
but i can't get the DirectX to OpenGL wrapper to work as i wanna run 3D Mark 2001 to see what kind of stuff it can display, but it just halt there:
windows XP Pro
Fastvoodoo2 4.0 XP
MESA FX 6.0
Direct3d to OpenGL wrapper ver 0.9
without that wrapper, 3DMark won't run...

DirX and Glide.
You need to know that the game was coded for 3dfx cards and some other cards (old now...) so if you run the game with a GF or an ATI card (more recent), that will be in software mode or in D3D mode in low resolution (800*600 16 bits depth) (if i remember).
yeah you are right, i can't run it using Radeon 9100VE
but my friends wanna play this game online as their systems just have GF2MX and TNT2 using Athlon/PIII
now i can enjoy the game with them smoothly~~too good
the most weird thing is that this game is a bundle version with gigabyte's GeForce 2 MX (and i flash it to GF2MX 400). because my uncle don't play games using his computer(the one with GF), i take it and have some fun~~

Though i'm not a Nvidia user, i know that it was possible to tweak the game engine for the GF2 Mx.
Edit : don't know if your mobo can support it, but you will get perhaps more performance with a K6 - 3
thanks for your idea, but a K6-3 is instead a very rare and expensive stuff in Hong Kong (K6-2+ and K6-3 are priced the same as a brand new Celeron D).. but for K6-2 and PIII/Celeron IIs the story is different.
anyway that's alright, i won't play it onj this old system long as i will move the V2s to a P4 system when i get my DDRRAM and CPU heatsink as promised~~(it is just like a piece of scrap right now as no necessary parts~~)
i think the performance K6-2 is not optimal for V2, so there is still a lot of room to improve....then i can enjoy it more~~
(now i can only play single player mode because the game lags when computer players are there~~
