Yeah thats an ezra. they go up to 1ghz. look out for the 100mhz fsb ones as they can be slowed down even better. you should be able to play games up to around quake2 on this.

The non gold ones are really not that special. Without a ram expander they are pretty crap.

1. Just put it in next to the viper, and leave the viper drivers alone. Then install the voodoo drivers. They work side by side. 2. No. It's not a video card. Bios will not recognize a display device and neither will win98. It should not be that hard to get working.

Why not try it and see? The whole point of the Voodoo2 is you can run it alongside other 2d/3d cards. So i can leave the viper in, connect it to the voodoo? How do you do this driver-wise, installing it? Replace *can* with *must* and you are getting closer. Do you have a pass through cable? As you …

I've been looking at a Korg Ns5R listing (it's in Melb, Aus) and have decided not to succumb to the temptation. My use is gaming so there's little point spending money on more GM if you already have a Sound Canvas. Interesting units though, with an internal wavetable header! LGR stacks it up …

I use similar fan mounts to keep my voodoo5 cool. I think even if the v5 fans fails those big fans will be enough. For all I know the HSF fans have already failed. Although my fan mount annoyingly takes up 2 PCI slots, but not fully (more like 1.2), leaving a gap across the second slot. How did you …
