I spotted a guy's sig, he had every card voodoo ever made in it, with a few exceptions. He was looking for those last few cards to round out his collection. Maybe someone knows his username, I have looked for a while and have not found him yet.

I have a question regarding voodoo2 1000's, and if you need the external cable if you have the internal SLI cable.............
EDIT: all my questions have been answered, thanks everyone..............

Just try it. I wouldn't think you should, but it's just a male/male VGA cable, right?

You only need the VGA pass-through cable if it's a single V2. The SLI cable is only necessary if you have two V2's and intend on running them simultaneously in Scan-Interleave mode.

I think the V2 is still a very excellent card if you have older games or games that support Glide.

FYI, it's possible to run the V2 WITHOUT the need of the VGA pass-through, but you need a monitor with dual VGA inputs. One cable would connect to your regular video card, the other would connect to the V2. It's pain in the ass to toggle back and forth like this via the monitor switch, but the advantage is that there is no signal degradation since the signal doesn't need to travel through the pass-through cable.

Thanks cyrus, and thank you too, Brian. I am in the process of giving away stuff in this thread here

someone asked for it, and all I have is the ribbon cable.
