So the new asus card won't work at all? That's a bit wierd. Personally I wouldn't have thrown the V5 away for the GF2, but there is a substantial performance difference. (say 25-30%) However, I wouldn't have gotten the 64meg version, it performs the same as the 32meg but costs much more.

Voodoo drivers are hard to get rid of and will conflict with virtually any graphics card you install afterwards. Clean install of operating system will solve this. Other way is to comb through your Registry and hard drive for 3dfx* files and delete them. Once they are all removed try again. Also try placing your AGP in 2x by setting bios setting "AGP 4x Mode" to "disable", try this first. Let us know if this works or have any other questions.

also delete the windows inf file for the voodoo and any other video cards you may of had before as sometimes these will load windows drivers that will also interfere with the gts drivers
