I would think you can, but you need to change your video settings. Dont use software mode, it will be too slow/not work with DOD. Try the other two video settings and see if you get acceptable performance or not.

Also drop your resolution and image quality down while testing.

There also used to be a 3dfx driver for the regular half life that had to be used for opengl mode, I don't know if that is included in steam or if you have to find it somewhere.

The Voodoo cards are old and need to be updated. A friend of mine was having issues with TFC and DOD just recently. He upgraded to a 9200 ATI card for under $100 and everything works awesome now. Your better off spending the dough.
