Editorial interest 85/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source driver project bringing graphics acceleration to Windows 98, with a Windows 2000 and XP driver in development.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-13 issue.

For: Classic-PC owners and retro-computing developers
Worth noticing: The homepage reports Quake II at 28 fps on an Atom N280 netbook running Windows 98.

Field notes

The site divides the work into Velocity9x and VelocityNT, with separate download, overview, supported-hardware, and documentation links for the released 9x project. Its examples name chip families, APIs, driver versions, and test machines; the Windows 2000/XP effort is explicitly marked unreleased, rather than presented as a finished driver.
