I am getting ready to upgrade my video. I have a 12 meg voodoo. I'm
thinking SLI instead of voodoo 3. What are everyone's thoughts.

Faced with the same question, I went with the Voodoo3 3000 and sold my
single Voodoo2 12mb. It has great 2D, fast 3D and better visual quality
than the Voodoo2 in what I've seen. It seems to be about the same
performance of an SLI setup, but in some games the Banshee was actually
faster than either Voodoo2 or SLI, and it seems the Voodoo3 is really good
in these games (Falcon 4.0 for example).

I just had a single V2, but in many games the V3 seems "brighter" and
"sharper", not even using the 22-bit filter thing they have. Having a
high-quality RAMDAC doesn't hurt I guess. :-)

>> Sounds promising! How does the image quality compare to the V2's?
