Any problems when using them apart from each other?
Try running the Donut Demo for some time.
Do you have proper air flow? They tend to get quite hot.
They work fine separately as far as I can tell, but I haven't run extensive tests, just haven't been able to reproduce the problem in the games that I've tried.
I'm not sure if running the Donut Demo will make a difference — this is a problem that presents itself either immediately after booting, or not at all (until after a reboot). I also don't think this is temperature related as I can make the error present itself just by going into screen properties, then it crashes, and the the 3dfx tab is missing. However, when games work, the 3dfx tab is present and there are no issues.
I thought this was a faulty contact for some time, but given that I can just reboot the machine and then it might work again I'm doubting that is the case.
Perhaps it is a problem with the Athlon Voodoo 2 driver? Is it as stable as the non-Athlon driver in SLI? Any experiences?
