Cool. Now I know what my build will be ^^

Can I cascade a voodoo banshee with a vodoo 2, to get the 2D functionality of the banshee?

That could get messy.. with the driver support of games.. i don't think they know automaticly which one to use.. but you already have a 2d card in it right? voodoo 2 just uses a cable to connect the vga port from your current 2d card

Scavenging old PC's for parts is easier than you think :)

But if you're getting an HDD for a win 95 or older PC, you need to know how to format it to FAT16.

I have the old parts around still. Old Socket 462 board + Athlon XP with Windows 98+drivers.
I am an 80's kid and was gaming on PC in the 90's, so I know all the teccy stuff from that era. :P

Hard part is finding a decent monitor though, not many cheap 4:3 1024x768 panels around these days.

Sometimes I find old XP era monitors in yard sales and the like. They're still out there. I think lots of companies and universities still have those kinds of monitors and are in the process of throwing them away.

 



I LOVE ICELAND!

Yea, the motherboard has some kind of integrated 2D card. I thought it might be what causes the 2D games to lag, but since you mentioned RAM, perhaps that's the bottleneck.

two voodoo 2 cards it is then ^^
