Which drivers are better? Voodoo2HM are modded/optimized version of Fast Voodoo 4.6. The creator says there are better/optimized for fast PCs and other nice things. Is that true? Someone tried that Voodoo2HM? Are they better?

The official drivers show valid number of video RAM (8MB + 16MB) and SLI detected, but Fast Voodoo and Voodoo2HM show SLI detected and only video RAM of 1 card (4MB + 8MB). What's up with that? Those unofficial drivers can't use all of the memory or is it only visual bug and everything is OK or what?

Yes, you're right. I've noticed that as well in my system when I had the SLI set up for testing. I've got the official drivers and some demo games to test them. Tomb raider 2 works well but another flight sim gives black screens and other issues. 3dMark 99 doesn't work. Switching to alternative drivers fixes the game problem and 3d Mark 99, but I noticed the issue you mentioned. Don't have a straight answer for you but from memory 3D Mark scores appeared normal when SLI enabled. My Voodoo cards are 8MB and 12MB so I'll have to upgrade the 8 MB one to 12 MB and test again. Run some benchmarks perhaps with different drivers and see if there's discrepancies.
