Windows XP sucks

<< < (5/5)

Fett101:
More like dead because 3dfx has discontinued support. And they don't quite feel like making new drivers XP.

Bateluer:
Guys, you can still use Voodoo card in XP. All you need is the drivers, which can be had over at Voodoofiles.com

Calum:
there you go, hardly dead!

(i didn't try the link because the day i'll need XP drivers is the day Bill Gates tells the truth, but i trust Bateluer is right)

Also, you do realise (don't you?) that most Linux drivers are not written by the manufacturers of the kit concerned? I do not have the competency to write a driver myself, but to say something is dead just because the manufacturer no longer supports newer (so called ) operating systems is weak as fuck, pardon my english.
There are two solutions here if you have a "dead" peripheral,

1) don't use XP, use an older copy of windows that you *DO* have the drivers for,
or
2) get drivers that are NOT written by the manufacturer of the kit. I believe this is not the norm in the M$DOS/Win community, so maybe this option will require you to get a FREE UPGRADE to Linux to make your peripheral work properly...
Bonus!
