Anyone got a kick-ass Voodoo II SLI setup? ;D

hehe I know him, he's Venturi from 2CPU.com :)

somewhere on this page is his post of his other NV SLi Rig: http://forums.2cpu.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=39697&perpage=30&pagenumber=16

Venturi said the following :

Dual evga 6800ultra SLI (copper heatsinks)
Dual Opteron 250

enjoy

well it looks impressive, but 16GB ram is kinda overkill for games hehe looks beasty though hay :D

Your nickname.

I've had to review that Quadro4 in great deal, as its part of the Quantum3D's Sentiris subsystem.  This is used for the Land Warrior project.  A virtual reality training simulator for soldiers in the US Army.
They can squeeze card that card into a subsystem the size of two VHS tapes stuck together!  It's quite something!  ;)

All part of my research for my Virtual Reality exam this Wednesday!  Evaluating the effectiveness of virtual reality in these embedded military training systems.

May The Force Be With on your examinations this Wednesday ;)

but yeah Dual QuadroFX 4400's is extremely impressive, I think there is no competition to that for now, unless Ati comes with a Crossfire version of thier FireGL cards :)

@janskjaer - good luck in the exams mate! ;)

Best luck for a pass! 8)

Cheers paul mate!  ;D

The exam was a complete success!  :D  It was closed book but I managed to remember every paragraph from 10 pages of printed revision notes.  Ended up being just under 20 pages of written work, all done during a 3 hour exam!

Here's hoping for a first!  ;)

Heh, you are a MUCH better academic than me! 8)

I don't have the mindset for coding stuff... :'(

I can manage coding no problem, but it can be a drag sometimes.

Tbh, and it may sound strange to any other developer, I prefer testing!  ;D  Hope to be going some games development or games testing once I graduate this year.

Well, I have 2 Voodoo II's in my Athlon XP 'Thoroughbred B' @ 2,53GHz .
If I overclock it to 2,66GHz it might be the fasted AMD Athlon XP 'Thoroughbred B' with Voodoo II's  

wow thats some nice speed, is that the 2500, i have one and its a great o/cer, by the way what is your fsb at that speed?

If I were to put any of my V2 SLI setups into my A64 3000+ machine, would that not be faster?

Or do you just want the fastest AthlonXP setup with V2 SLI?

What Athlon CPU brand is it? 2800+? 3200+?

Has anyone tested V2 SLI / SINGLE V2 / V1 on an A64 system yet? ???

Some time ago I had a Creative Voodoo2 in my Athlon64 System, worked like a charm for me :)

Athlon 64 can still be overclocked, my system is already overclocked   But keep in mind the base of this system is already 2 years old .

Indeed, I will try my V2 SLI setup when I o/c the A64 for good.  Recent tests have shown that the A64 will o/c to to 2400MHz no sweat, on stock cooling, temps around 50 celcius.  No need for the extra power yet though, so it's back at factory levels.
However, I don't think the release of my current CPU is not far off 2 years old either! :)

@Paul - Alright mate ;).  Like FF said, should be no problemo!  Bearing in mind the CPU architecture has been the most significant change to motherboards of late, the PCI bus remains in its old fashion.  Of course, you may want to use the latest and certified 3rd party drivers.

I'm currently using a 'Newcastle' 90nm 3000+.

However, I am trying to get up an FX-55 based machine set up with a V5 5.5k PCI.

We'll then see new records being broken for sure.  ;D

Ah, yes.  I copied and pasted the wrong value from Thandor's posting!  ;D

I was in a bit of a rush!  ;)

Wouldn't it be odd if I bought a Newcastle core A64...I live in Newcastle! :o

LOL! ;D

I suppose it can be said that AMD can come up with the silliest names for their processors.

Hey Paul, maybe the next generation AMD CPU will be codenamed 'darn sarf in Landan'.  'owight mi cockney sparra!  ;D

Talking about A64 Cores, I took some power readings with my machines under full CPU load :

Athlon64 3000+ (Winchester) : 83W
Athlon64 3200+ (Venice) : 85W

That's the total power drawn by the entire System under full steam, quite impressive :D
(without Cool&Quiet, in idle about 60-65W remain, with Cool&Quiet enabled likely around ~50W).

ROFL! ;D LMAO! ;D

Seriously though, who cares what they're called - as long as AMD continue to KICK Intel's AR$E! 8)

So, anyone actually gonna try to get their V2 SLI rig on that site? Kinda the reason why I posted this ;D

how about a 5500 or 6000, or does it have to be 2 seprate cards

Yeah I know what you mean. All my SLI rigs are single board solutions :P

Maybe Gary can post his Mercury System ;D
