First time voodoo2 user

OK. I'm building this small pc, very compact,(p200, 64 mb ram, a two partition disk with DOS on one and win95 on another part., sb128pci, remote controlled cd-rom, built in speakers,...) it's gonna have 3dfx gamepad, kinda like x-box 10 years ago... I'm not familiar with pre v3 voodoos. So I need help. I'm gonna put one or two v2 12mb in and I'm thinking of having a tv-out capable 2d card to export picture to a TV. Is this doable? About software, probably just in win95, what about hardware? If not possible, one more thing, which 2d card then to use? I know productiva G100 used to be the best. And win95 because I think win98 has problems with NFS1SE, which this computer must run. Thanks.

..SLI is redundant (your cpu way too slow) unless you really need the 1024*768 ingame resolution (single v2 can do only 800*600 max).install windows,the latest official driver (here),and you are ready to fly.as for the 2d card,any will do,some old s3 or matrox.never heard of "productiva" before..

The Matrox G100 or Productiva

[ps47]

..right..

[Raptor]

Well, I plan to put in 2 v2's, and play games that in the old days required much less than p200pro (which I tend to overclock to 250mhz), so I don't see why cpu is the problem. So I guess tv-out is a no go?

[ps47]

tv out should be no problem,just use a primary card that has one.

[Avenger]

Or try to dig up an Obsidian 2, which has a TV-out itself

[Nightbird]

Canopus, Miro have tv outputs also and will be less expensive than a Quantum3D card.

[Raptor]

That's it, anybody got one (or two) for sale??

[Raptor]

So far no success, I'm looking at 5 eBays, so far just one or two Miro voodoo1 boards (that also have tv-out) and a quantum x-24 daugther card...

[Nightbird]

That will really easier to find a Miro card than a Canopus and since you live in Europa, go on Ebay Germany.
But something important : you will need always to get the original cable sold with the card because it's not "standard".

[Raptor]

Success. I've found them. Off eBay. Someone will sell me a pair of canopus pure3d 2 with all the cables for $50!!!!

Congratulations
They are excellent Voodoo2's ((but) with a "special" design).
