AmiRaoul forwards a statement from T. Frieden on the Warp3D mailing list: For now, the Voodoo 3 is the only PCI card that we plan to support. So please, do NOT go out and buy either a Voodoo 4, Voodoo 5, GeForce, GeForce 2, Matrox G450, TNT, TNT2, BitchingFast 3D or whatever.
Recently, I'm getting mails from people telling me that they bought a specific graphics card, and are now waiting for us to do a Warp3D driver.

I would like to say the following:

For now, the Voodoo 3 is the only PCI card that we plan to support. So please, do NOT go out and buy either a Voodoo 4, Voodoo 5, GeForce, GeForce 2, Matrox G450, TNT, TNT2, BitchingFast 3D or whatever.

CHANCES ARE YOU SPEND A LOT OF MONEY FOR NOTHING.

We will NOT support any board we can't get documentation of. And we will NOT build 3D drivers based on Linux source code. No one of the Warp3D team does have any time to wade through megabytes of source code to find out the bits we need, nor the intent to try.

I would think it's common sense to ask before buying something that might not be supported, but the mails I get recently show me otherwise.
