Voodoo2 SLI: Is it supposed to look like this?

First, anything pre-GeForce is not known as a GPU 🙂 No Giga-whatzits per second here!

I haven't loaded any tweak programs yet, though I plan to use Powerstrip to switch 3D accelleration between it and a GeForce2 GTS-V as an optimal setup for older games (That's why I'm not using a Voodoo3. I can't have two primary video cards.). I plan to output the VGA from the Voodoo2 SLI setup to my monitor using BNC cables and the GeForce2 directly using 15-pin to avoid the signal degredation from the VGA pass-through (Will this work? Will I have to use a 15-pin splitter?). Then I can select the output using my monitors controls 🙂

I may just have to get two more Voodoo2's for another reason... An old Tom's Hardware benchmark showed that many single Voodoo2's clobbered this one!

I still have two 12mb voodoo2's laying around in static bags. Back in the days I remember playing Half-Life with it and getting nice fps. 😀

I ran SLI back in the day. A high refresh rate would cause a scan line looking kind of problem. I found that running 75 Hz max fixed it.
