Don't you think that your Voodoo2 memory heatsinks are a bit on a small size side? What size are the?

They were the best I could find for a reasonable price.

I wondered that myself... is it possible to machine a copper or aluminum heatsink block to fit the reference Voodoo2 chip setup to cool it and then build it into a full 2x slot shroud like on modern cards with a blower fan on one end a-la nVidia cards. You could have a molex connector to power the fans on each one. It'd be a beast. But probably expensive as hell to plan, machine, and make.

Umm. Double-slot Voodoo 2 in SLI? May as well put a blower on a Voodoo 3 and save three slots (2x from Voodoo and 1.. or 2 for 2D GPU). 😐

Hehe 😀 No, Voodoo 3 is not an option. You remove SLI and install Voodoo 3 and - BAM! - you don't have the fever anymore 😈

^ Actually if Voodoo3's came with the original "3Dfx Interactive" logo and splash screens, I WOULD learn to love them more! 😁

Wait, is that the Voodoo2 card doing that when it gets switched to? I thought it was the game doing that with the Glide API.

The splash is in the drivers... Not sure if you can replace it with one from from the V1/V2/Banshee, haven't tried or looked into it. But still we wouldn't have the same logo on the card and the chip. 😀
