Glide survey (sorta)

Depends what you define a second vidcard...
If you talk Voodoo1, Voodoo2, then those are pass through cards. No likely driver conflicts, no need for 2 monitors.

If you talk about 2 full vidcards be warned that most (all?) videocards cannot be used to do hardware rendering (D3D,Glide,OpenGL) if they are the secondary card.

So your monitor advice doesn't do a thing. The second card won't do hardware rendering. The only workaround is to get a motherboard that supports the change of the graphic initialisation order from AGP to PCI. Then if you want to use your PCI card, shutdown the PC, enter the BIOS, switch to PCI and restart.

That is what I do for my 3 graphic cards in one PC.

1) I'm still wonderin' what a Voodoomania is: Is it a V1, V2, V3, WHAT?... Anyone?...

2) Good point about the pass-thru. Oddly enuff, even tho' I have a V2, that never even occurred to me: D'oh! :rolleyes:

3) Well, as you pointed out, if you have a mobo capable of swapping the init order (AGP/PCI), my advice prolly *would* still be valid...
 
Well preacher, I got voodoomania but I dont know what exaclty is:D

I think is a version of Voodoo1
