i have a eforce 3 and a voodoo 2 pci . i have both cards installled and both monitors installed but cant get access to the second monitor. i read somewhere that windows millenium and voodoo 2 pci cards arent compatible for second onitor setup? due to no drivers that support it? is this true? the review said win2k was only system that could run it. but the review looked ghetto and not by some tech guy but rather a normal pc user.

Sounds good, but won't work.
Voodoo2 is a 3d only card. It has no ability to run 2d.
Generally speaking, Multi-monitor systems require the primary card to be used for 3d, and the
secondary to only be used for 2d windows desktop extensions. There are some rare gaming
exceptions where you can use 3d on a secondary cards, but what you really need is 2d.

Sorry, won't work.

Edit:
One way it would work would be to select that card for a 3d game.
But then the Geforce would not work at the same time.
Could only use one or the other for 3d at a time, and 2d will never happen on V2.
