I heard people complaining about the performance of the Voodoo Rush. I'd 
return that card and get a Moster or somesuch, since you are using the 
2nd slot anyhow. You'd also save some money.

Then you could remain true to FreeBSD :)

Once Bill Gates has FreeBSD on his PC I'll forgive you for having win95 on
yours!
