Greetings folks!

I've acquired a pair of V2 12Mb and put them together on my Soyo 6BA +III (chipset Intel BX, Celeron II 566@963Mhz, 384Mb RAM + 1NIC + 1SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 + ISA scanner card).

Everything worked fine from the start-up. Run Unreal in 1024x768 in Glide w/o problems. Windows run rock solid. But the V2 driver did not detect the SLI link (FastXP 4.0)... so I tried to invert the SLI cable, inverted the cards on slots 3 and 4, inverted the VGA loop cable (instead of inserting on the first V2 card, I plugged it on the 2nd) but nothing helped...

Also, after 2 weeks of use, some artifacts started to appear on the screen. First on Windows, but I rebooted and it was also there on the boot screen/BIOS screen... only a few points, but things got worse after some hours. So I've lowered the clock of the processor to 800Mhz (FSB 100 x 8) and it stopped worsen. But they still there.

So right now I don't know why these artifacts are appearing: are they caused by the V2's??? Or by the main video card? Or by the motherboard? (I've run this configuration for ~8 years)

Second, why SLI isn't recogized? Any ideas?

Thanks

Greetings all,  

my first message here. :-)

Well, it's been quite some time that I'm looking for two 3dfx Voodoo2 12Mb to setup a SLI on my old (and only) Celeron II 566@963Mhz + 512Mb SDRAM + Radeon 8500 LE.  

I wanna play Q2, UT99, NFSII, etc on glide w/o getting rid of my current R8500

I'm not sure if this is the right place, but is there someone willing to sell me one or two Voodoo2 12Mb?

Best regards from Brasil,
