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). -- Ken's Sig 2.01 "Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

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. :-) -- Ken's Sig 2.01 "Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
