What Card to buy??

[Guest]

Greetings everyone
I have a fairly recent Mobo GA-71XE with a 2X AGP slot on it. I have a 950 Athlon processor on the board also Building a gaming rig so I am wondering if 2 Voodoo 2 cards in SLI will be anygood or do I need to get one of the Newer 2d/3d cards to run in the AGP and forget about the PCI Voodoo pair?? Any ideas would be welcome.
Thanks for any ideas you people may give to help me decide what to do.

So then do you already posses the two vodoo cards?

I dont have 2 voodoo2 cards but can get 12meg cards at the local store for 50dollars apiece

A $100-150 Geforce MX would perform at least as well as 2 Voodoo 2's. I haven't seen any benchmarks comparing the two, but I would bet that the Geforce MX would kick some serious Voodoo a$$.

He's right dont bother with the irq headaches and all with the sli setup (vodoo) go with the mx card it will be better anyways ( remember agp 4x= 266 mhz were the vodoo will be chugging along at 33 mhz) or if you can afford a few extra dollars go with the the gts perhaps get a used one?
