Alright i am currently using a 17" viewsonic monitor through the OEM rage 128 that came in my B&W G3/400. If i add in my Voodoo3 and connect a NEC MultiSync E750+ 17" monitor to it... i shouldnt have any problems with a dual monitor set up, should i? (MAC OS 9.2.2)

Uh, you DO have some drivers for that right? I mean, I have an identical computer and my voodoo 2 had to get some ghetto drivers from some website to run. (and it only has 1 resolution setting!) Good luck!

On the other hand get a Geforce 2 mx400 w/ 64 mb ram (pci of course) on ebay for $40. They work really well and will outclass your rage 128. They are about the best you can do in a pci slot only mac.

I had the Voodoo card in the G3 already, i only took out to give my old Perfoma a little boost because i wasnt playing any games, just audio production and work/business managment etc. I still have the drivers (i dont think they ever came out of beta) but they did seem to work fine, i just never tried it along side of the rage 128.

Now its going to be a Micro 17" monitor. Standard VGA, should work, right?

Its me (Wish I was Black) .. Got the monitor and hooked it up to the Voodoo3 and installed the beta :) drivers. Everything working fine. Protools is sooooo much better with 2 monitors!!!!

I have a Beige 266 (overclocked to 292, 82 mhz bus) and I want to put in a GF2 MX... What cards can I flash to do that? I do not want to spend a ton on a Radeon 7000, but I know pc GF 2 MX's can be had for really cheap.... (PCI of course)
