I had a TnT 2 M64, and it is not as powerful as the Voodoo 4.
The TnT 2 M64 has a crippled 64bit memory bus just like alot of the
FX5200 cards that are going around you hear everyone complaining
about. Neither card is going to perform well with recent, and newer
games. I'd recommend getting a Radion 9000, or a used GF3 Ti200 over
either of those cards, but if you don't want t get another videocard,
then I'd stick with the Voodoo 4. You also get the extra Glide support
that the TnT2 can't provide. That's always a plus.

Hi,
I have a computer that is of the following spec: Duron 700Mhz and 256mb
Pc133 Ram. The computer sadly only has a 2x AGP port. Now i have two
graphics cards:

Nvidia Riva TNT2 M64 AGP
3DFX Voodoo4 4500 AGP

I want the machine to be used for game playing (this computer is a spare
computer i have put together) Which of the above graphcis cards do you think
i shoudl use in the machine. I obviously want the best compatability with
good/latest games - and obviously the maximum performance i can push from
the system. If you have any of these cards could you please also advise on
any 'Top Performing' Drivers.
I am using Windows XP Professional on the system,

Thanking you in advance,

Ben Nealon

P.S - Do most recent-ish games not supprt the 3DFX Chipset anymore?
