: First of all, make sure you see graphics options for 3dfx available within
: FU2. I assure you if you were in 3dfx mode you would see a big difference,
: both in frame rates, and in your terrain graphics.

  On a similar note, i've got a voodoo bansheee in my machine.   with my old
Voodoo1 /S3 Virge dx (which had some 3d acceleration in it), i could choose 
between no hardware acceleration, primary display adaptor (i.e.  s3 virge
hardware accleration), or 3dfx.   

	Now, i can only choose Primary display adaptor  (i.e voodoo banshee, 
but i think it is d3d not glide).   Can i get FUII to run my voodoo banshee
with glide (i.e 3dfx not d3d)

	Thanks in advance,
