Im glad i found this post again to update. Im such a noob. I didnt know that an 8 meg card shows as 4 meg buffer memory and 4 meg texture memory. Derp. Both the 12 and the 8 meg cards work fine. Learning as I go. I never dealt with voodoo 2 cards back in the day.

I want to upgrade my 8 meg Voodoo 2 to 12. Where can I get the memory modules for it? I've used these EDO memory ICs in the past (not from this particular seller, though) and they worked great. Thanks, I was looking on ebay but came up with nothing. I hope to pick some up soon and upgrade my voodoo …

It's funny ain't it, if when you were an older kid ,your dumb parents bought you this dumb IBM, that you couldn't even expand much, you'd have been outraged... but today we can see it as a nice cleanly packaged system that does what it does, and needs no apologies. Good luck with the CD and sound. …

Ah Ill have to take some later. I was testing it in a p2 yesterday and the info said its 4 megs. I also had this SLI'd with an 8 meg card and I was getting 4 megs and terrible benchmarks. This card alone gave 800 3d mark score The diamond Monster 2 was showing as 8 megs when used by itseld.

Luckily this card was 5 dollars, so I dont mind and I have a Monster voodoo 2 as backup but this 12 meg card registers as 4 megs. Anything to look for? Worth trying to fix?

I got my P2 system running in SLI finally. Though my cards are mismatched and one is a 12 meg and the other is an 8 meg card. Not ideal at all, so I hope to get another 12 meg card at some point.
