cool ty, last night i ran mad onion 2001 with the 4500agp and a 5500pci, i had everything turned down as low as possible to see what the highest score i could get, the 4500 ran in at 2906 and the 5500 at 2090 i was alittle suprised by this, i figure if i had things turned up the 5500pci would catch up or pass i guess, the board says it has 1x 2x and 4x but your right it wont take the 5500agp, i tried it last night lol...... i do have another question for you please, it says i have driver version 5.00.2195.0232   is this a good driver, i played with it last night and not a glitch, thou i didnt try any newer games, ty for info :>

Ty again for your help  Smiley i was wondering if the amigamerlin v2.5se drivers (or any for that matter) would help with the 3dmark2001 problems, such as: game 4 nature (no support) enviro bump mapping (no support) dote3, pixel shader and advanced pixel shader ( all no support) i bet its a silly question sry  Embarrassed

Ok Patience, im a noob Tongue ive downloaded the driver for the 2 voodoo2"s, in my hardware wizard it says the voodoo cards are working but i get just a black screen with them and if i run just my g3 i get 2 error mes. when windows starts up (with them not hooked up to my g3) but the g3 runs fine, does any of this make any sence to you, i guess ive done something wrong  Embarrassed  sry i have failed to do something correct, can you tell me what it might be? ty for your time.

Hm, did you hook them up correctly with the Loop Cable ?

Reason I ask is, that in a SLI Configuration, one Voodoo2 will be assigned Slave, and one Master.

Only the Master will enable Video Output, the Slave will not (which would result in a black screen).
