Lads.

I have something that wants to run using GLIDE drivers (a game)......is there any software that means my Radeon 7000 can run, or emulate the GLIDE drivers?

Stupid thing is, this Radeon is a few years old, and wont run GLIDE (or i cant seem to get it to), yet my 75yr old Voodoo1 card does...and i REALLY dont want to have to put that back in

yes look for a program called a "glide wrapper"

i take it this "game" is an N64 emulator? lol

as for 2x GFX cards, you can run em as seperate screens, either get a card that supports twin monitors, or use 2 cards :P windows will recognise both cards and you can set it very easily to display different bits on each other :P if you do i HIGHLY reccomend a program called "ultramon" which does a brilliant job of seperating the desktops on each screen
