Hello everybody!
I've a problem: my Voodoo5 5500 PCI only works with de Windows XP SP2 built-in driver.
(My BIOS version is the 1.18, took from this site.)
I've tried many driver: SFFT-Alpha35, AMIGAMERLIN3.1, VoodooXtreme_1.07.01... When one of these drivers are instaled, when I open any program that uses OpenGl ou D3D (Dx) the computer stops! And I have to restart manually...
I realized one interesting thing: all drivers show 64MB of video memory in my card, less the windows' driver, that show 32MB of memory.
I think the problem is related to the 33-64MB memory chip. Can this be possible? How can I use my Voodoo5 5500 only with 32MB?
Any help are welcome!
Thanks!

Hm ... maybe one GPU is dead ... I don't know any details, but probably the windows default driver uses single-chip mode ... it should just give basic compatibility. One chip uses 32 MiB of VRAM.
Did you try to force single-chip via V.Control? While using the SFFT. :) If it works then, your second VSA has died ...

I had this problem once.turned up to be a screwed up xp install..
What mobo are you running dmoser[?]
Probably my second chip is dead. Because if I disable it using the V.Control, if works perfectly.
I think it doesn't is XP problem.
I'm using a Asus A8N-E.
Thanks for the Help!
Congratulations, you now have a Voodoo4 ;)
