Title: voodoo2 problem
Post by d7estroyer on 18.01.07 at 05:25:00
hello  i  was wondering if there are any integrated gfx chipsets that caused the voodoo2 problems, i have been searching for parts to make the ultimate glide machine and i finally came across an old intel ca810e motherboard with a p3 933 in it i have a small collection of voodoo2 1000's i want to try and equip it with,256mb ram,sblv,and 3comnic.[the voodoo's consist of stb black board ram chips top and bottom,other card exactly the same but from a gateway no difference i can see both are stb boards] So i put it all together install windows no problems after installing voodo drivers i notice a weird buzzing on screen it looks like interference then it stops and goes away, my thinking is there is problem with onboard igfx chipset(82810e dc-133 gfx cipset) or there is something wrong with one of my voodoo cards :'( or sli setup? does anyone know of compatibility problems with voodoo cards and integrated gfx chipsets?

It's possible I suppose...some integrated GFX are pretty CR@P... :P

If you can, disable inbuilt GFX and install a standalone GFX card (PCI or AGP, whatever...) ;)

If the interference is still there, come back and post again... :P

Oh, and PLEASE use 'paragraphs' in your posts - we can only help if we can actually read what you type! ::)

hello thank you for responding i am only in a postion to
work on my little legacy pc project for about 2 hours a
day :'(but anyways i pulled the two v2's out and noticed
that the snowy static like interference is still there just
less evident however just as i had to go i noticed that it
mostly seemed to happen when i like right clicked and
brought up a sub menu hmm maybe the monitor :-/ tommorow i will check with a different monitor and see
what happens on a side note when i first put it
together i tested it with just the igchipset and the
p3 933mhz cpu, the thing played ka and descent3 in
high resolutions wth great fps ??? i knew then lol that
this would be a great machine for all my glide games but
let me see what happens with the monitor i prey its just
that ill write back...

Actually, your post about the monitor is quite readable in comparison to your first post. ;D

Don't worry about it too much man, it's just something to take note of so others in the forum dont b!tch about it... ::)

...we're usually pretty laid back here at @Falconfly forums... ;)
