I ended up with a second Voodoo 2 I didn't really expect, now I don't know what to do with it. I use a Voodoo 3 AGP in my Slot 1 system, and my next build is a Tualatin Celeron 1300. I'm trying to weigh the benefits of adding this Voodoo 2 to that Tualatin Build with a Radeon 8500. Is there any sense in this? Looking at Phil's scaling project a single V2 seems to stop scaling further at around 600MHz mark at 800x600, and SLI systems running at 1024x768 are even less CPU bound, topping out at around 400Mhz. That leaves me really confused as to what to do with this card. I may end up selling it off or trading it away for something, or rip the other V2 out of my MMX system and do a SLI in my Tualatin build, but the question that ultimately bugs me is, are there any glide games the Radeon 8500 would not be able to run with a wrapper anyway, i.e. why the hell am I doing this?
So I guess the TL;DR question is, what is in your opinion the most modern system that will benefit from adding a Voodoo 2 or SLI to? Would you add
