sorry i don't have one :) i came close to getting one. but i did read
(from a pc mag)
quote from mag "..uncomprimising 2d and 3d performance..........
differs from voodoo 2 as it has 1 texture processor as opposed to 2
(for voodoo 2). so banshee will be slower for games like quake 2 and
unreal which use multitexturing. ..........banshee runs at higher
clock rate giving it faster fill rate means better performance for
non-multitexturing games. end quote.

they tested the phoenix pci card which was easy to install and had
comparible 3d image quality to most other voodoo2  cards.
ps u can download some banshee, voodoo2 drivers from 
www.guillemot.com (under tech support)
