Voodoo2 and G400 Max
How do I get my Canopus Voodoo2 card and my G400 Max to work? My computer locks up at the windows load up screen when both the V2 and G400 are installed, but it works fine when I take out the V2. Any ideas? =)

My brother has a G400 + V2 SLI rig in his machine. No problems whatsoever. -
What drivers is he using for his Voodoo2 cards? I don't know if this makes a difference, but I am using an Athlon 500, FIC mb, 256mb pc100.Comment

You cant use TurboGl drivers with a v2 installed. Thats all i know. BTW why would you do this on such a fast system, unless your addicted to tribes!

Some games just seem to be written specifically for Voodoo and don't work quite as good with other cards.Comment

HoSeR34,
My brother is using the standard 3dfx (Voodoo2 1000) reference drivers.

Hmm... why use a voodoo2 while you have one of the best video cards out in the market, the Matrox G400! I have a CL Voodoo2 and I am glad that I put it back in the box to RIP until I find a use for it. I would just use the G400 for everything, I haven't had a problem with mine and it's hell lot faster than a Voodoo2.
Long Live the G400,

Remember, the Canopus Voodoo II's are *not* reference boards. Canopus strayed fairly far from the reference design. I haven't done this in a while, but you have to install both the Canopus drivers and the the reference drivers, and then do some serious tweaking, to get the darn things working properly. There's a specific sequence of tasks involved as well.
Given how long it took them to post an upgrade for the last set of Pure3D II drivers, I wouldn't expect Canopus to ever upgrade their Voodoo II drivers again.
