You cannot use a 32-bit driver with a 64-bit system.
You must check with the card vendor to see if they have a Beta version of a
driver available for this pre release opertaing system.

I listen about WsWow64OpenGL ,SysWOW64 or some think like this, is a way to
use a 32 bit driver, but I do not know exactly how it work.

Best regards,
 
uhh.... Isn't 3DFX dead or somthing.... I had 2 about 7 years ago... get a
new graphics card, they are cheap today :) And I don't think there will ever
be 64bit drivers for 3dfx !!!

Sorry but that is life, things have to die sometime!

I need use this graphics card because I make games to run in old computers
too like PIII, and I need It to test but I don have one 32bits old computer
no more to use the card.

And actually, 3DFX was bought out by nVidia. Unfortunately, someone
else will have to create drivers for 64bit. You may get lucky, but I
wouldn't count on it ;)

No the WoW64 etc is for running 32-bit applications.
Drivers must be the same as the operating system - you must use a 64-bit
device driver with a 64-bit operating system
