Can I slap an old VooDoo2 onto an old Matrox Millenium 2MB PCI?

Yah, I'm the guy who musta fried his Matrox G450. Since this OEM turnaround is from 6 to 8 weeks, I tossed in my old Matrox and hey... it works just fine!
Now I got this old VooDoo2 laying around and I'm thinking of installing that as well. Am I asking for trouble? I never used this vd2 and I don't what to expect from it.

Go ahead and use it, that's what it's for.
BTW, how did the G450 fry? I had mine for 7 weeks. Hope mine won't fry 🙂

Go for it, and if it was 1997 you'd be king of the hill! The Millenium/Voodoo2 combo was THE hot setup back then. State of the art 2d and 3d.

hah, run q2 at most😛...passthrough is just bad for video signal.. wouldn't install it if your worried about 2d quality.

You know it! That is what I was running. Eventually went to an SLI. 3 slots for video. Times have changed.
