Installing Multiple Video Cards
I have a G4 Ti4600 AGP running with Windows XP. I would like to install an
old Voodoo 3 in a PCI Slot so that I will be able to run older Glide Games (swap the monitor connection between each card). Will this work? |

Yeah, should do; xp should be fine for switching between the 2 between
restarts; only problem I can forsee are driver conflicts; but you can't just change from card to card in XP without a restart as far as I'm aware, but maybe (hopefully) this will be proved wrong by someone soon... "Megman" wrote in message ... I enjoy Rolos.. Will this work? |

Will this work? Should work. But you'll have to switch the primary display device each time you want to change monitor. I did it with a GeForce3 and a Voodoo3. But I didn't try to play games on the second one. I used it to run a second monitor.

"Megman" wrote in message ... I enjoy Rolos.. Will this work? Yeah, Iused to run a dual card with an old VooDoo and my Gforce4Ti4200. It ran fine. There is annother thing you may want to try, I remember there being a program that allowed you to switch between the two cards while under windows without having to restart, if I can find it again I'll re-post here with the link to it, if it is a pruchase type program I'll post with a key too. |
