Success! I finally got it to work! I used Ledgendgrafix voodoomage 2 XP drivers (available somewhere on these boards or through a Google search) and now it runs SLI perfectly. The driver software is in Hungarian and requires some guess work for us non-hungarians, but the driver does work! For those trying to get mismatched voodoo2 SLI to work in Xp, make sure you remove every trace of any other driver before installing these. here's a list of what i did:

-uninstall all voodoo2's in device managler (manager)
-click "View -> Show hidden devices" in device manager, go to "Non Plug-and-Play drivers" and remove anything relating to voodoo 2
-uninstall all voodoo2 driver software (control panels etc)
-run "inf" from a command line and search for and delete any files in the inf directory with voodoo in the name
-also, go through the OEM files in the inf directory (they should be numbered from 0 - 14 or so) and delete any OEM file which relates to voodoo drivers. Also, delete the corrresponding .pnf file (for instance if OEM14 relates to some 3dfx driver, delete both OEM14 and OEM14.pnf
-shutdown and switch off
-remove voodoo2's from computer (physically take them out)
-reboot to XP
-use driver cleaner to remove as much 3dfx "leftovers"  as possible
-search all hard drives for any file with 3dfx in it and delete those
-delete the c:\windows\system32\reinstallbackups folder
--run driver cleaner again
-shutdown Xp and reinstall voodoo2's (physically)
-use new hardware wizard to install the ledgendgrafix drivers

Nautrally I take no responsibility for anything that happens while folowing these steps so backup your system before messing around. I basically used a "scortched earth" policy while removing drivers and it seemed to work.

Good Luck!! :D
