No. You can't link 2 V5 in SLI, not even if they are both PCI.

That is not possible, as the Voodoo5 retail cards do not have any means or preparation to act in SLI with other VSA-100 retail cards.

The only solution (apart from a Voodoo5 6000) is a Quantum3D Aalchemy System, which was designed to afford scalable SLI in higher numbers.

Even if it worked technically, the AGP upstream- and PCI general bandwidth would not suffice by far to allow any reasonable SLI performance.

too slow Wink

AAlchemy have only openGL and Glide drivers
so no D3D game will run on it

but quake3 works fine
