I have a creative voodoo2 12mb card and a voodoo2 powercolour 12mb card and wont to use them in sli with Diamond viper V770 ATX AGPx2/4 32MB and piii 1.2 ghz will the voodoo 2 cards over heat at all with a fast cpu as they have no heatsinks. I have them in a ocuk terminator gaming case witch has a big fan next to the voodoo cards will this be ok.
I'm not sure that SLi will be very useful other than to increase the screen resolution with that CPU. The Voodoo2 was extremely CPU bound when it was released and continued to scale for a long time as CPU's got more and more powerful. Your 1.2ghz CPU will probably just about max out the speed of a single V2. My PIII 1ghz machine did when it had one in it, but it couldn't feed an SLi setup fast enough to max it out even at 1024x768. The last machine I had them installed in was a P4 2.4ghz and the pair of them were still scaling in that machine. Who knows how much faster they would be a modern machine? Of course by that time there wasn't really any support for Glide anymore so I had to upgrade to a Radeon and haven't used the STB's much since. I'm building a new vintage rig now and want to start using them again, though. They were a blast.
Please tell me that was only with newer D3D or OGL titles. Otherwise I just wasted cash replacing my broken powerleap 1.4ghz celeron adapter (it never worked, so I'm stuck at 800mhz Katmai right now).
