2nd Voodoo 2

[ecsi1]

I'm thinking about buying another Voodoo2 card or 64MB more RAM for my system:

AMD K6-2 300
FIC VA 503+
64MB (100MHz)
STB Nitro 3D (4MB)
CL Voodoo 2 (12MB)

I've saw the STB BlackMagic Voodoo 2 as low as $90. Would the two Voodoo 2 cards perform together w/o a lot of trouble. Or would my system be better with another 64MB of RAM.

I guess no one cares now that the voodoo 3 and tnt 2 chips are out. Hey, some of us are not rich.

DAMN, you are the first person i have ever known to have the almost the same combo I have...
i got a..
K6-2 300
64MB PC100
FIC VA503+ MuddaBoard
1MB CACHE
ATI RAGE IIC 8MB AGP+
An STB BLACKMAGIC 3D 12MEG V2

ALSO DO YOU HAVE PROBLEMS GOING INTO 800X600
RES. WITH YOUR VOODOO2? I CANT GET ANY RES. ANYTHING OTHER THAN 640X480 WITHOUT MINE FREEZING. OH AND ALSO YOU HAVE TO GET ANOTHER CL VOODOO2 FOR IT TO WORK, YOU CANT COMBINE TWO DIFFERENT V2'S, YOU CANT HOOK TOGETHER A CL V2 12MB AND THE BLACKMAGIC 12MB V2. AND ALSO I AM I THE SAME ORDEAL, I CANT DECIDE TO GET 64MB PC100 RAM OR ANOTHER BLACKMAGIC 3D , OR EVEN A 450MHZ K6/2 PROCESSOR. DID YOU BUILD YOUR SYSTEM? IF YOU DID, YOU NOTICE THE MISS PRINT IN THE VA503+'S MANUAL, ALL OF THE JUMPER SETTINGS DIAGRAMS ARE WRONG, IT TOLD ME TO PUT MY 300 AT LIKE 5.5 VOLTS,( MAJORLY OVERCLOCKING IT!) THAT COULD RUIN YOUR CHIP WITHOUT PROPER COOLING!(i THINK)

Yes. I have had trouble running a few games @ 800x600. Half-life, Quake 2 are the ones that give me the most @ 800x600. Its not all the time just every now and then. Yes I built my system and FIC did have a few misprints but I think most of us knew what they were trying to say. Good luck with your choice gutwrench_51.
