This is my first thread ever, I just hooked up my 12mb voodoo2's into a dell poweredge 2300 server and got 120fps @ 1024 in the donut demo, then i tried it on my single processor and got about 60, the weird thing is i had the same fresh xp installs on both,

So i guess my question is wouldnt the processor with the higher clockspeed give higher framerates if their was no smp support. Im gunna put a single 1400 in and see if i still see the higher framerates. What is a normal fps running the donut demo in sli. Also i herd someware that this serverboard has something called concurrent pci or something i have no idea. I hope someone reads this, ill post pictures tomorrow if anyone cares.
Ok its not a v-sync problem it was always disabled, same setup same install on the desktop with a voodoo 5500 agp gave me 300fps in the donut demo.
maybe the pcchips board...that is the only thing I can think :s
Like what do you mean, the pcchips board is a piece of ****, i wouldnt doubt it, does anyone know what a normal framerate for voodoo2 sli is on the donut demo with the voodoofast 4.0 gold drivers under xp pro?
well I don't knwo about the hdonut demo,but back in the days I had v2 sli in xp pro,I could get about 80fps @ut with all max 1024x768 =)
