Hello all, im trading away a voodoo3 for a voodoo2 because i want to use 2 voodoo2s in my other comp(the BumPuter).

What sort of cable is needed to connect the voodoo2s togheter and are there any settings i should know about?

The BumPuter is currently:
Abit AX6L mobo
PII333@375mhz(83x4.5)
192mb SDR
ATI Xpert 98
SB 16 pnp ISA
4gb+1.5gb+31.4gb HD

Don't believe everything you hear, I think I read an article somewhere on making a cable for that purpose, I think it required a custom "flip" in the wire!

Perfect. The cables are actually easy to make, you take a floppy cable appart (carefull not to remove the contacts), put the twist in the right place, put the ends on the right way, and press it back together. I use a hammer on the thick side, with the thin back supported by a concrete floor! A wood vice would be a perfect tool for that purpose.
