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 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
