    What OS and what drivers are you using? Also, are you playing it in OpenGL or Direct3D?

    have you looked in the readme file to see if there are any references to the card about any problems it might have with the voodoo cards??

    Along with what Sniper said, you might try changing the game's resolution (assuming you can get to that point) and trying to run it in Direct 3D. I'll get back to you with anymore info I can find.

    Simple cheap idea, get the hell rid of your crap card. I saw one at a garage sale for 15$. Pick up a geforce 4 MX 440 for like 65$...

    Sell it as fast as possible, somone offered me a Geforce 4 TI 4200 128MB for 50, but i wasnt interesed, im looking into the 8500LE for a chepa nice card. Go for the 9700 if you want the 9800, becuase benchmarks show that th 9800 aint much better. And if you get the right card you can trun the 9500 into a 9700 :D

    I was making the offer to Kenshin, but you could take it :p

    At my local store (there is one in Mtl), there's the ati 9000 pro 128mb for 150 $
    Is this a good/bad/normal price ?

    If you're going to barter, it'd be a good idea to take it to the Buy,Sell, and Trade section. ;)

    do a bit of research cuz I've read a lot of people are having problems running MGS2 with ATI cards...though a fix should be released soon for the problem.
