Hi

I have an Athlon 850 system (KT133) which currently has a 32Mb TNT II (Diamond V770D) AGP card and two Voodoo2 cards in SLI.

The Voodoos consist of one creative and one seemingly unidentifiable card.
To run these cards in my system I need to install reference drivers, mismatched SLI and Athlon compatible drivers.

Benchmarking the cards in Quake III  shows that they only achieve ~1FPS faster than the TNT II using the same settings (800x600 x 16bpp, Texture detail one setting down). By slightly overclocking it, the TNT II can match their performance.

The cards have caused instability at times, although improved cooling may have fixed this.

Is it really worth keeping my Voodoos in this system? They generate a lot of heat and perform similarly to the TNT II (with possible reliability issues) with less features.
Glide is one advantage - although most of the games I play don't require it.

It seems that owning Voodoo2 cards can be a pleasure and a pain at the same time.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you don't play any games that depend upon them then remove them by all means.

I couldn't remove mine since I play many DOS and Windows glide games and prefer some OpenGL games on them (for reasons more of nostalgia than anything else  ).
