I was wondering if anybody has this combination? I am already a Creative Annihilator 2. I?ve been looking for a good dual monitor solution for a while now. We all know that the Matrox G400 Dual Head is no good for games & the secondary RAMDAC is too slow to run a big monitor. Then I was thinking about getting a old G200 PCI, but the RAMDAC on the cared is not too hot too, 250MHZ & plus it?s only 8MB.

Right now I am running 2 19? monitors on the Geforce 2 & an old Matrox Millennium II 4 MB PCI. The Millennium II was a great card 3, 4 years ago. But now it?s just can?t keep up with the Geforce 2 even in 2D.

So I am thinking about getting a Voodoo 5 5500 PCI card. It?s fast in 2D, 350mhz RAMDAC, and I don?t mind taking an extra before I start a game to think about: ?Ummm, Should I run the game on the Geforece 2 for the Frame Rate, or should I run it on Voodoo 5500 for the Anti-Aliasing?? Sounds pretty good. Eh?

I just wanted to know if anybody is running this combo? Or would this even work? I just want to know if there?s any potential problem(s) I might run into before I spend the money.

I am running Windows 98SE, but I don?t mind a upgrading to Windows ME if that will help. (I don?t see how, I used ME for 1 week before I switch back to 98SE)

Any suggestions, recommendations, opinions are welcome.

Thank you
