I have a dual Celeron machine running Windows XP Pro, and i want to use it as a secondary gaming machine at LAN parties, and i have both an old 16MB Orchid Righteous, and also a 12MB Voodoo 2.

Does anyone know where i can get some drivers for either of these cards, and also which one would be better for games, mainly Counter-Strike, RTCW and Medal Of Honour Allied Assault.

Thanks in advance :)

I have the Voodoo 2 w/12MB but doesn't that have to have a pass-through with another video card? That's how I had to set mine up on my dual Xeon (the Voodoo card provided the "3d acceleration" for the other card at the time. I may still have the drivers around on a CD somewhere).

If the games you like use GLIDE, then the Voodoos are made for them (like UT)... otherwise, you could probably use either.

I doubt if there will ever be any XP drivers for it since the company is now owned by nvidia, although 2k drivers will generally work in XP. Check out this site to see if anything there will help.
