I've only had bad experience with Nvidia cards mixed with the PCX2. Nvidia drivers have aggressive Direct3D HALs.

A PCX2 should be fine with thw two different Voodoos.

I use mine with a 2003ish Pentium 4 system and i feel it's much faster there than the period motherboards it's made for. One of the main bottlenecks of the PCX2 is the bus transfer speed. You also need to enable the 24-bit output mode just for more speed (there's a registry key for this)

Yeah I've seen some of your posts about bad Nvidia interaction on other threads. I missed the 24-bit output mode though. You seem to be an authority on this card, are there any other tips and tweaks I need to be aware of?
