Hey GIT,
I take it you are running one app on each monitor. Do you know if this is possible using a television instead of one of the monitors?? Me gots a geforce with tv out, not a duel head though. Would a voodoo do it's thing in this situation?

I only really got it cos it was cheap and could do the resoution and refresh rate i wanted.

The lack of driver support is a bit of a worry, given the choice i'd have gone with something which still has support, such as a PCI version of a GeForce, but it should be alright.

GITster....new voodoo drivers should be around for atleast a few more years(i am assuming all the people that are creating them now will continue). If you need some help finding some drivers for your voodoo card, bookmark this for future reference:

They are too new drivers.....official they may not be, but they ARE new drivers. So basically you are saying it is a worthless option to actually be able to play opengl games on XP with your voodoo card? With old drivers, you could no longer do this.....but with these new worthless-aintnew-useless-option drivers you can run XP and actually play opengl games(something you couldnt do with the win2k drivers).
With these new worthless-aintnew-useless-option drivers, 3dmark2001 scores have risen drastically and so has gaming performance. I would recommend that you check out that forum to get your facts straight.....
Considering you are part of the crunch group 3dfx4life(or sometin like that) i figured you would know all this by now...
