Thanks for the reply - much appreciated - I feel a twinge on my credit card.
Incase those of you out there are unaware and know people with Voodoo cards who are tearing their hair out, there remains a fan-base of people who still develop third-party drivers for OS releases and updates.
http://www.voodoofiles.com is where I get most of my OpenGL/Glide stuff including drivers and utilities and haven't had any problems so far with the stuff from there being 'buggy'. From what I can remember DirectX supports these cards without the need for additional messing around with drivers, but I could be wrong.
