It actually depends on the software... If you've a good 2D 8Mb AGP card, then any decent software can use the Voodoo for additional support. Or, of course, you could use the SLI link with a twin Voodoo combination ... Which is a hell of a lot better. >i just don't see the point of having a 12 Mb VDII and an 8Mb AGP card; why >not just get a combined card like a voodoo banshee, or a matrox g200, or a >Riva TNT? Weelll... even tho' I've got a Banshee..... I still think a decent 2D card and the Voodoo2 is a damn site better (I went for the banshee on cost...) The TNT's not a bad alternative - I'd recomend the ASUS TNT which walks over the Creative Labs and Diamond TNT cards.... >** cheaper ** and just as good. > >dave Ahem! More SAM related topics me thinks? Who's got a least pathetic score than me on Stratosphere? Level 3? David PS: PC hardware? Email me for quotations!
