I have been running two 12MB Voodoo 2 cards from different manufacturers using the FastVoodoo 4.6 drivers for a quite awhile now. I have always wanted to have the real deal with 2 identical Voodoo 2 cards. One the cards I have is a 12MB STB Blackmagic 3D . I recently saw a listing on eBay for an 8MB STB Blackmagic 3D. After looking at the pictures, I saw it was in fact a 12MB card. The asking price was $130, not too bad as far as eBay pricing goes. I made the purchase and installed the card. After installing the drivers from 3dfx, I now have a true Voodoo SLI setup. My other 12MB card has since gone into another computer. I guess sometimes you just get lucky.

I have my Vodoo 2 SLI in a Gateway P733. Dual P200's seem kind of slow.

I know the Pentium II Overdrive 333 is not that powerful, but for the build I wanted to do, it suites my needs.

PII 333 will get the job done for the most part. Most games prior to 1999 will run well enough and Voodoo2 SLI lets you run 1024x768. Voodoo2 doesn't really have enough texture memory for later games anyway.
