Which driver and operative system are you using for your Voodoo4/5?

Voodoo 5 5500 run on 98se, currently using AmigaMerlin 2.9, (and awaiting 3.0 ;))

Win ME, Win98SE, Win2Pro
Amigamerlin 2.9, NuDrivers5, x3dfx 1.08.04b, Amigamerlin 3.0

just win2k, win98se doesnt like my current setup for some strange reason.... amigamerlin 3.0 is my main driver, altoug i fiddle around with x3dfxgamers packages too

This took a while to do but eventually it came out just fine.:) 3 systems to do some serious 3dfx Voodoo testing.[8D]

Well on system 1 I use Win98SE and [8D]Amigamerlin 2.9:D because I still miss the Geometry Assist[Emulate T&L] in Amigamerlin 3.0XP [:(]
