Is it possible to add the 3dfx Voodoo 2 1000 as a display adapter? I'm trying to use it for multiple monitor support, and how do I use .DRV files? Any help would be great!
click homepage link for info on how to setup multiple displays. and which cards are compatible.
(ignore the kid in response #1 his nintendo broke and has nothing better to do.)

The voodoo 2 is not a standalone video card, it is only a 3D accelerator. It won't even work without another video card that will do the 2D work. In other words, you can add it to your system, but it will not give you the ability to use multiple monitors. There should be 2 connectors on the back of the card, one to connect to the monitor, and one to connect to the other video card.
Hope this helps. Wolfgang

You would need a Matrox G400/G450 or any of the nVidia Twinview cards (I believe there are similar offerings from ATI). My Geforce 2 MX 64Mb has a secondary s-video/composite output, which means I can use a TV as a secondary display.
