Thanks guys, but I think you misunderstood my question 
What I was hoping to find out is that whenever Glide emulator can co-exist with physical, actual 3dfx Voodoo card(s) on the same system without conflicts.
And was also hoping to hear your experiences regarding virtual, emulated 3dfx cards. Since I can't seem to find the Voodoo5, I was thinking of emulating one using GeForce4 4200 (or better?) card, under Win98. According to their website only XP (and newer) OS are supported, however someone recently pointed out (don't remember who, it might have been someone on YouTube) how nGlide will work perfectly OK under 98SE, as long as the hardware has enough muscle to drive the entire thing.
As for your input regarding OpenGL and Glide @stinger608 , I suppose it's all down to personal taste & choice. For me Glide holds a special & sentimental value but only because of what it represents. And also because it brings back memories of my childhood, otherwise I would probably go with OpenGL myself. I can't really speak from the programmer's point of view, but it felt more reliable & compatible with various hardware brands, while the Glide was exclusive & only reserved for 3dfx.
