In the directX conversion table on the 2nd page of the user guide, should "from" not be included in the headings of columns 2, 3, 4, 5, and "to" in the first column heading?

The intro screen is from Severance: Blade of darkness. A hard-to-master game with real-time & realistic lighting effects shadows long before they appeared in games like Doom3.

My 1st card was a V3 3k. We played UT at the office in s/ware mode, and couldn't believe our eyes when we saw it in 3d on the V3 !
Unreal, UT, Thief, Half Life, AvP, all looked great and played smoothly. These games were immersive, terrifying, incredible, beautiful and fun (if you've played them, you'll know what adjective applies to what game). After this, I bought a V5 5500, which is, imho, the Voodoo to get (unless you have $$$ to buy a V5 6k). Backwards compatible with all the older games, but more features and fillrate. many more games followed.

My_Spleen, I have a 1.4GHz P3 with a V5 500AGP. If your mobo is tualatin capable (most tualatin mobos only support 512mb RAM), then buy a 1.4Ghz 512L2 cache P3 for cheap from ebay. These CPU's rock (for their time). You'll get a significant performance increase (if not fill-rate limited) and they run much cooler than the coppermine 1GHz P3.
