So since now I am removing both Voodoo 2 out of it..... and putting 1 Voodoo1 inside...
Question:-
1. Im putting Voodoo1 at PCI slot 1 for fastest performance.. right? 😁
2. At my PCI Slot 3, that's my ATI rage II.... should I go for S3 Virge or Trident? or ATI RAGE II will be enough for 2D and 3D applications?Do advice me... 🤣
I don't think it matters which PCI slot you use for the V1.
Regarding your 2D card, I'd say it's between the Rage II and Virge. This is a DOS-only system, right? Do yourself a favor and download Phil's new DOS benchmark kit: http://www.philscomputerlab.com/dos-benchmark-pack.html It'll probably take 15 minutes to fully benchmark both the Rage II and Virge, then you'll have proof which is better than anyone's opinion. 😀 And you can share the results here for us to admire.
Okay, I'll put the Voodoo 1 at PCI 1 than..
But as for Benchmark.. I don't think I have the time to benchmark every game or sort.. and even If I did.. I do no't know how to present it in graph or pictures.. 🤣..
I leave those to the enthusiast ... thus, if i want to.... I need someone to teach me how to put it in graph or excel spreadsheet..., if I really want to do it.. xD

It is not all speed that matters, when we are talking about Dos cards.
Take the compatibility and the benchmark result and decide what's best for you.
Play as many games as you can come across too.
This will give you the best base for deciding. Speed vs. Comp. vs. Actual useage.It's allways a work in progress, and can go on for months.
Personally, I have setteled with a couple of CL-5446 2mb cards.
I feel they give me the best of both compatibility and speed, without any special TSR's loaded.Games I play:
- Epic pinball
- Pinball Fantasies
- Doom (all three dos versions)
- Duke3D
- Cannon Fodder
- Civilization
- Raptor
- Wolfenstein 3D
- Lotus3
- LemmingsAnd then a lot of other games, that I don't remember right now.
After looking at that URL.. I was like.. "omg.. ATI Rage II is that bad?", lucky thing I have a Trident and S3.. but I need to go home and find out what model are they... 😕
Time to remove the ATI RAGE II card than...
by the way... the Trident and S3 card, both have... empty RAM chip... I will post some picture soon.. (Hopefully my wife did NOT throw away those card.... 😵 )
