Post a pic of your card - I'm speaking under correction, but I think some of these cards didn't have an AWE (EMU8000) synthesis chip on board. Meaning, Aweutil won't work and you won't have MIDI synthesis. https://s28.postimg.org/4wtba83bh/P1000618.jpg It requires RAM for MIDI usage. It does have …

Oh, and here's one more tip - if for any reason you need to disable the 2nd card, the 8mb one in your case you can do so without removing it from the computer. There's a checkbox, option under the Voodoo2 control panel settings to (and I quote) "Disable SLI". This will ignore your other card & use …

No prob, you're welcome :) And unfortunately the answer is no, in order to use the official drivers you need to have both cards from the same company/brand. Although the actual PCBs (cards, themselves) are identical, their BIOS IDs are different, so therefore they're not being recognized upon …

Greetings! :) To quickly answer your question, yes you can match up both of your Voodoo cards in one (SLI) system, but the 12mb one will be reduced to 8mb capacity, because they both need to be identical in order for SLI to work. So therefore, it's not possible to have 12+8 configuration as you'll …

I'm guessing that a matched pair (same brand, equal RAM) would be ideal, though it's been brought to my attention that this is no longer a requirement with newer drivers. Sorry for resurrecting this thread, but ive 2 different voodoo 2, one its a diamond monster 3d II - 8mg and the other its a …

You can probably fix that with PowerStrip, I have a vague memory of doing it 20 years ago. I did a quick search and found this http://www.ramelectronics.net/powerstrip.aspx Advanced timing options are the settings you want to mess with. With that software i was able to expand the image vertically, …

@caluser2000 BTW when you changed the hd and the cdrom on yours, you had to remove the entire plastic case? or its possible to do it only by pulling the board out from behind?
