I don't think glide is upgradeable because it is tied into hardware. 3dfx telling us that 22bit color =32bit would have been like Sega Genesis supported transparencies because they could "simulate" them with dots. btw, I have a Voodoo 5. I still want Glide dead... every game I've seen that uses it looks too cartoony because of the color. This would be fine for games like Oni, but they aren't.

If you want to see the S3TC textures on the 2nd CD, just buy a GeForce 2 MX card or Radeon LE (both fairly cheap) and run UT using the latest OpenGL dll file. UT OpenGL support is now on par with or better than D3D support.
