 | You can. (In fact, people have been successful in running Doom 3 on Voodoo5.) However, the end result will be slow, ugly as hell, or a combination of both...

You can emulate the caps and also software rasterize any functions, but it's best just to emulate the cap to force the game to run.

Software rasterization = slow performance

 | Why don't you buy a good but cheap card? You can get a Fx-5200 for about $50!
