It looks good. How do you get your 2 voodoo 2 cards to work properly with your p3b-f + p3 1 ghz? Nothing special, just install the Voodoo 2 cards, plug in the internal SLI cable, plug in the passthrough cable to the second Voodoo 2, boot your PC, install drivers (has to be done twice, once for each …

I wasn't going to do much testing at first, but seeing how well the GF2 did in 16-bit high color I got carried away and also ran 32-bit true color benchmarks. Because of this I have to break my results in several posts, otherwise there would be a huge single post with lots of screenshots; that would …

I agree with firage, either card should work fine - and the GUS as well. It all depends on the games themselves. Personally, I chose to go with the SBPro 2 on my P166MMX build for one good reason: Jill of the Jungle. The game's sound effects are terrible with my SB16 CT1750 (music is fine); here's …

Hey guys, quick and silly question: does the Voodoo 1/2 needs to be connected to a 2D graphics card to be detected by Windows?
