Voodoo2 Drivers recommended by Kaaos with BOLD text. Drivers marked as "3dfx Voodoo2 1000" should work with any Voodoo2 cards, except for Quantum3D special Voodoo2s maybe. Windows 98/98SE/ME(and maybe 95) Creative 3D Blaster V2.16rc1 - DirectX 5 - Release Candinate 1 3dfx Voodoo2 1000 V3.01.01 - DirectX 6 driver 3dfx Voodoo2 1000 V3.03.00 - DirectX 6.1 driver - NOTE: OLDER THAN V3.02.02 despite the version number Diamond Monster 3D II V4.10.01.0207 - DirectX 6 driver 3dfx Voodoo2 1000 V3.02.02 - Latest reference driver - DirectX 7 Windows 2000 3dfx Voodoo2 1000 V1.00.00b - Beta Release - Has some unique feature (don't know what though) Note: (applies only with this particular driver afaik) Voodoo2 runs on Windows 2000 Professional as a secondary display adapter only and not as a multimedia device. Microsoft did not get "detached device" support into the kernel in time to get it fully tested prior to the final Windows 2000 Professional release. Detached device support is required to run Voodoo2 as a 3D only board. This means that Voodoo2 can only run attached to a multi-monitor desktop. 3dfx has developed a driver capable of this, but there are few caveats. 1) The SLI configuration is not supported. This limits the maximum 3D resolution to 800x600. The 1024x768x16 resolution is supported for the desktop only. The Voodoo2 driver will not accelerate any DirectX operations at the 1024x768 resolution. This is because there is not enough frame buffer memory on a single Voodoo2 to practically accelerate 3D applications at this resolution. 2) Voodoo2 is only supported in Multi-monitor mode (this requires users to have an extra monitor to run their Voodoo2 card). 3) Video pass-thru is not supported. Apparently, this is the primary reason for Microsoft deciding not to put this Voodoo2 driver on the Beta3 CDs. They concluded that many users would simply ignore the readme file (that explained the caveats) and try to install and use the Voodoo2 just like they did on W9x. 4) 2D corruption on desktop. This only happens with GDI calls and it is caused by the lack of byte enabled hardware on Voodoo2. 3dfx Voodoo2 1000 V1.02.00 - Latest reference driver - Notes above doesn't apply with these drivers afaik. Basic Voodoo2 driver for Win2k/XP - Only Glide and OpenGL, No D3D support. Basic Voodoo2 driver for Win2k/XP - Only Glide and OpenGL, No D3D support.

So err the latest linux drivers for a 3dfx v3 3000 ? When you post the links please delete this post as it would keep the thread cleaner
I don't know practically anything about linux or it's drivers, so I'm not going to recommend any drivers.. but try these sites: http://www.linux.3dfxliveson.com/ http://www.linuxvoodoo.com/
I don't have time for updating this thread right now, so I'll give you couple links where to get newest drivers.. there are at least some new AmigaMerlins out there.
