one AGP and one PCI

[Guest]

I have GeForce2 MX and I like it, but there are many old Unreal based engine games that don't work well with GF2MX, I can get VooDoo 5 6000 PCI very cheap and I know THERE IS A WAY to run 2 videocards at once. Voodoo will be in PCI slot and GF2MX will be in AGP 4x slot (I have A7V and 800Mhz Athlon). What programs can I get for using Voodoo5 for games like Unreal and DeusEx and how fast would voodoo5 work on them?

You need to understand that a PCI version of a card may work, but that Windows will use it as a secondary card, causing some of it's features to be scaled down, or not used at all. Also, a PCI card will run slower than an AGP card, as it has to share the PCI bus with your modem, Sound card and any other cards that you may have. I have no benchmarks to show,but from one who has used multiple monitors before, I don't see the secondary monitor as a gaming option as it can become unsatable if too much resources are using it. It is very nice though for internet researching/browsing and school projects.

If it works for you then don't fix it.

When maximum PC magazine was making their Dream Machona 2000 they used GeForce2 Ultra as their card and there was also a note:" we installed Voodoo 5 5500 to play some GLIDE games" this is why I asked...

You don't really need the whole card, a graphics accelerator would also work, I have a Voodoo 2 graphics accelerator with VGA in and out new in the box if you need it. It has 12MB for acceleration in GLIDE only.
