No, you can't use the Voodoo with your TNT2 to speed up your graphics. They are not compatible together. I suggest you use the TNT2 and leave the Voodoo2 alone.

Did I go back in time about 8 years? This is an OLD SKOOL question but the simple answer is no, the two cards to not work together to render 3D graphics. If you need more power then you can upgrade to any $20 to $50 video card that will me many times faster than those two cards.

I sure do miss the days when 3D video cards were nice and simple.

That is if he can find a video card that is AGP 1x ( :lol: ) compatible.

I have a voodoo2 too!

Get a FX5200, for a few bucks! Better than the 2 you have together.

i still got a pair of voodoo2's sitting around, ah the good old days

anything geforce2 and above would ace the combo, the voodoo2 needs compatible games too ;)

I thought that i'd never hear someone say that they're doing something with a tnt 2.

Hmm try maybe getting at least a geforce 2.

From your specs i think that buying newer agp cards are quite out of the question. In my opinion, try to get a cheap new rig. buying cards such as a geforce mx 440 would really hinder its benefit since i am assuming that your board is an agp 2x board. You can get pc's at least 2x faster for maybe as low as $500. Well it's just a suggestion anyway. Goodluck!

It has a 2x/4x AGP slot. You can use about any AGP card that has drivers for Windows 98 (unless you upgraded from that already.) I'd try to get a cheap Geforce 4 Ti or Radeon 8500 off ebay.

I had to look at the date of this post, I thought I was back in 1999 for a minute.

it has been proven many times that the slot speed DOES NOT MATTER - the performance diffrence between 2x and 8x AGP is ~10%, and PCIe above that if i remember correctly actually looses performance by ~5%
