GeForce and VooDoo2

I have a new computer (PIII 733) with GeForce 256 card.  Took the VooDoo2
from the old P100 but can't get it to work with the GeForce.  Have the
newest 3.53 drivers for GeForce and got the newest for VD2.  When installed,
computer locks up with almost anything I do (including opening the control
panel.  I know a number of you out there report having both cards working.
Is there a special trick.  Would like to see if the graphics are better with
3dfx for Nascar 3, Legends, and GPL.  Also have DirectX 7.

Any ideas would be appreciated.  Diamond Legacy has been no help.  Creative
(GeForce) says not their problem.  Ditto for Micron.

Thanks

I dunno, I have both installed on a p2-266 with no problems, Im using the
older Directx 6 v2 drivers becase my v2 cards are from different
manufactures and the "mismatch" utility I have wont work with the new
drivers.  Maybe you should try the earlier version of v2 drivers. I was
going to take my v2sli out (to reduce some heat) but the geforce does not do
anti-asailing which makes me mad, jaggies on geforce in d3d sucks!

I just installed my Voodoo2 on my Dell p-3 with Geforce, 256 meg ram and
sblive.  No problems at all.  My son and I commented on how this was the first
install of any kind that has went in problem free (knock on wood).  I picked up
6 frames a second sitting in the pits at monza (now 30) and 36 solid everywhere
else.  
One question though.  When I put the 3dfx option up for gpl, shouldnt I have
gotten anti aliasing?  Went back and forth betweent the cards on gpl to see the
frame rate difference, so I know its working.  And my son plays quake three so
I know the geforce is operating.  Just wondering about the antialiaasing.
