I had all those problems with DX8, but I can't _really_ say that it had anything to do with 8, and not something to do with my voodoo computer setup. On this new machine everything is working fine under 7, but new games are asking me to install 8.So does anyone out there run it under 8? Maury IP: Logged |

Ok cool. I'll blame my computer instead of 8 then. Maury [This message has been edited by Maury Markowitz (edited 10-20-2001).]

DX8, SDOE and Voodoo Banshees don't mix, that's all I've stated on the subject - I've only ever tried sdoe on a Banshee so I wouldn't know about other boards.Werner ------------------ Abbeville Field: Dedicated to the SDOE Experience. IP: Logged |

That's fine, I have a TNT2. I shouldn't have said "voodoo computer" in my first post. :-) Maury IP: Logged |

Thanks for clearing that up Maury, obviously those who can upgrade to DX8 should if their games need it, but it's a recipe for disaster if you're a banshee owner, at least in my experience.WM ------------------ Abbeville Field: Dedicated to the SDOE Experience. IP: Logged |

LOL! I'm just clueing in now... you meant "voodoo" as opposed to "Voodoo"! LOL sorry, I read that entirely the wrong way. Oh well, its still a good warning for newbies I guess.  WM ------------------ Abbeville Field: Dedicated to the SDOE Experience. IP: Logged |
