    Post Upgrading Graphic Card on WinXP

    I got Voodoo3 2000, and I want to know how I can 'completely' remove all the Voodoo3 drivers before I install ATI 8500.

    Strengths
    stock fan
    2200mhz @ stock v-core (200 X 11)
    2300mhz @ 1.75v (200 X 11.5)
    2400mhz @ 1.95v (200 X 12.0)

    Going higher than 2400mhz is near impossible with air cooling.

    Goto the registry, delete everything for 3dfx, glide, and voodoo. Also uninstall the 3dfx tools.

    To get into the registry goto run and type regedit.

    Just run "regedit"(start/run/ type in "regedit") to acces windoze registry.You can do a backup is case you go wrong,then do a search for the filenames names Jago mentioned and delete all entries with those names,save and reboot.
