Ok guys, I have to be honest, I messed things up. My first home-made SLI cable made from an IDE cable was ****. It didn't work properly but alsways got detected in the voodoo settings-sheet. It had a ribbon clipped and couldn't work like it should.  That was the first problem avercame. So i made a new SLI cable from a floppy disk cable (took me 2 hours) then tried quake and saw an incredible difference in smoothness (800*600). I swear, it was like I was flying trough the rooms, so fast (or have I been up too late ??) Now I can play also on 1024*768 (and even the one higher resolution) but that goes slow. Something must still be wrong... But hey, this time i got them both working, no ? (they are in non-adjacant pci bus drives so no extra cooling needed i believe?)
PS look at me mum, just 2 weeks of voodoo2 and i'm already starting to talk like these guys...
My monitor refresh rates can go up to 120 Hfor up to 800*600 and beyond it is limited to 85 Hz It's detacted as a plug and play monitor.

Hi everybody,

Got the following : an old compaq deskpro pc boosted up with 2 creative labs voodoo 2 (8 or 12 mb, how do u tell ? They are ct6670 as i believe) cards in sli. Checked the forums out there (praise the lord for that) and installed fastvoodoo2 1.0 and they are detected in sli mode (so it says on the detect settings page). (had to cut up a ide cable to connect them inside the pc but hey they are detected so i did good, no ?) Now i got the following system : Compaq deskpro pentium pro ~200 Mhz, 256 MB ram, Matrox millenium 2 MB VGA card, 2 creative labs voodoo 2 cards (8 or 12 mb ???) in sli mode. Normally i startup in win98SE in 1024*786 in 16 bit mode (it can handle 32 bits with screensize 800*600 but i like it smaller). When i go to the voodoo 2 settings menu i can adjust settings, can u guys help me out here ? It says i can overclock from about 93 what is normal to 103 Clock speed. What does that mean ? What does the refresh rate mean ? How do u know if they really work together ? Are they working together ? What screensize and clock speed and refresh rate would be my ideal settings to play for example quake 1 or duke3d. (that were the games i used to play before i had to go to work everyday and please my woman in the evening. Now sometimes i just wanna game hours long and she better shuts up about it) What games (doom-clones) or other games could run very nicely on this machine with astonishing graphics ? Pleaze help me out here guys, i count on u... Greetz from an old-school gamer back to his roots...

Please guys replie at least once ???!!!
