Hi Simon,

Get the Voodoo2.  You will be able to run 800x600 without any loss in fps.
You can see farther down the track at 800x600 and there are not any
slow downs in the Monaco tunnel.  My card is a M3D2 12mb and I love it :)

I was getting 36fps with my voodoo1, you may want to put the opponents
to 12-15.  Detail at ~10% and mirrors to car & track.

The P2/333 is not powerful enough to have all the details and still run 36fps
with 19 opponents.
