Post by jblue on 06.04.05 at 19:17:35

will be the voodoo cards compatible with the PCI Express technology ?
A PCI Express video-card will work with the voodoo video cards.
If true .then wich voodoo series ?

No, just like you can't use a PCI card in an AGP slot (and vice versa) you can't use any of the two in PCIe either.

It's a different, incompatible technology.

I guess jblue wants to know whether you can use a PCIe card as primary graphics card along with addon cards like voodoo2.
I see no reason why this should not work.

would be weird to convert seriel signals into parallel bidirectional with this speed..... make no sense to make adapters like these
