    Soldier of Fortune - Multi Video cards

    I just installed Soldier of Fortune Platinum Edition, I went out and bought it because I remembered playing the demo on my Voodoo2, and it was great! But now that I have a lagged GeForce2 when I try to run SoF, it runs very poorly. This is because SoF does not allow you to select which video card to use. It automatically chooses your primary video card, which is not good for me, because I want to use my Voodoo2 for 3Dfx acceleration. Can anyone help me with this problem, and also, I've been looking for 3D Control Center, because this would easily solve the problem, if anyone has this pretty little application, please hook me up. Thank you.

    If you have agefoce 2 in your system, it should **** all over the voodoo 2, so what else is in your system (CPU memory) and what sort of resolutions are you trying to run it at?

    No, the GeForce2 would **** all over the Voodoo2 if it wasn't underpowerd, nobody ever realizes this. Please don't tell me how much better the GeForce2 is, I already know that, and that's why I bought it, but I need a new motherboard that delivers the required power to it. My query was for a solution to get Soldier of Fortune to use my Voodoo2 rather than my GeForce2, not how much better one video card is than the other. If anyone knows where I can get 3D Control Center, that will also help. Thank you.

    The resolution I'm running at doesn't matter with the underpowered GeForce2, whether I run it in 640x480 or in 1280x1024 I still get the same frame rates.

    512 MB SDRAM PC133
    Intel Celeron 433 :o

    No, the Celeron is not the problem, I have run the game before with 64 MB of PC100 SDRAM, with my Voodoo2 and it ran phenominally. It's just that now that I have the GeForce2, the game is choosing that video card over the Voodoo2, which in my case, the Voodoo2 will outperform the GeForce2 due to power issues.
